CINCINNATI - Singers from around the world are taking in local attractions during their stay in Cincinnati for the World Choir Games.

A choir from Australia was one of several choirs that cooled off with ice cream at Graeter's downtown.

"The food is different, bigger sizes," said Meagan Bebendorf, a singer from Australia.

The Australian choir is like many groups that are just now seeing free time after days of practice and competition.

"Sunday is our day, we're going to go shopping tomorrow and then do King's Island theme park," said Bebendorf.

Choirs are also heading across the river to destinations in Newport.

A choir from Russia visited the aquarium Saturday. One of several groups to make a stop there.

Choirs are also walking through much of downtown taking pictures with local landmarks and sampling Tri-State eateries.
