We made it!!! We arrived in San Sabastiain, Spain on Satruday July 4th. After 26 hours without sleep, we had our first training session in Spain. Not our best effort. :-( We were much more effective at the beach after training. :-) We also took a walking tour of Old Town. It is beautiful!!! We are staying in a small gym in a small local school across the street from the huge Anoeta Stadium - check google maps and look at the sattelite view. There is a boys team from Venezuela staying in another part of the school.
On Sunday we did another walking tour. This time we when up a small mountain. We have a fun boat ride in the Bay of Biscay. We rode a train up another mountain - beautiful views everywhere!!! We had a much, much better training session on Sunday too. There were two boys teams there from Ireland training next to us.
We have met teams from France, Venezula, Ireland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, England,... amazing!
Our first game is 3:30p (8:30a Oshkosh) today. We hear the teams are going to be very, very good. Opening ceremony is at 9:30p (2:30p Oshkosh) tonight. We will add pics and more blog after that!!!
