Team April, Journal Entry #2
By CHRISTINA AND LINDSEY , CORAL SPRINGS
WE WOKE UP THIS MORNING AT 7:30 AM. WE ATE BREAKFAST AT THE HOTEL AND WALKED TO THE BOMBSHELTER (really a school) GYM. IT WAS PRETTY COLD OUTSIDE AND THE SIDEWALKS AND ROADS WERE ICEY. ONCE WE GOT TO THE GYM, WE WARMED UP AND PLAYED OUR FIRST GAME, WHICH WAS AT 10:00 AM. WE PLAYED SRDOCI, WHO WERE FROM KRANJ, SLOVANIA. THEY BEAT US THE FIRST GAME 25-18, BUT WE PICKED UP OUR PLAYING AND WON THE SECOND GAME 25-20. UNFORTUANTELY, OUR PASSING BROKE DOWN AT THE END OF THE THIRD GAME, WHICH KILLED US AND LED THEM TO VICTORY 15-10.
AFTER THE GAME, WE WALKED BACK TO THE HOTEL AND GOT READY FOR SIGHT SEEING. WE WALKED AROUND THE CITY AND RAN INTO A SLOVANIAN MAN PLAYING THE ACCORDIAN AND WE DANCED, SANG, AND TOOK PICTURES WITH HIM. THEN WE ATE LUNCH AT A PIZZERIA AND WE ALL ORDERED A MARGHERITA PIZZA AND FINISHED THE WHOLE THING, WHICH WAS DELICIOUS! AFTER WE FINISHED EATING, WE TOOK A PICTURE WITH OUR WAITOR, WHO WAS A TRUE SLOVANIAN. :) THEN, WE KEPT WALKING TO SIGHT SEE AND WE CAME ACROSS A GREMLIN LOOKING STATUE/CREATURE WITH A ROBOT ATTACHED TO IT AT THE END OF AN ALLEY. BEING AS COOL AS WE ARE, WE WANTED TO TAKE PICTURES WITH THE INCREDIBLE LOOKING STATUE. IN THE PROCESS OF PICTURE TAKING, SOMEBODY OR SOMETHING THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY TO THROW A FIRECRACKER, RIGHT NEXT TO US, FROM THE THIRD FLOOR ABOVE US. IT EVEN SMOKED AND WE WERE TOTALLY FREAKED OUT, AND RAN AWAY SCREAMING, LEAVING THE GREMLIN FIGURE BEHIND.
THEN WE WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL AND TOOK A 20 MINUTE NAP TO GET READY FOR OUR NEXT MATCH, WHICH WAS AT 4:30, AGAINST NOVA KVBM. WE LOST IN 2 GAMES, 20-25, AND A DISSAPPOINTING 10-25. SURPRISINGLY THOUGH, WE PLAYED AWESOME IN THE FIRST GAME.. CAN'T SAY THAT ABOUT THE SECOND GAME, BUT HEY THEY WERE 8 FEET TALL! DESPITE OUR LOSS, WE STILL MANAGED TO WANT TO GET GELATO AFTER THE GAME, WHICH WAS SCRUMPTIOUS! .. AND FREE, BECAUSE THE GELATO MAN LOVED US AND TOOK PICTURES WITH US!! THEN WE CAME BACK TO THE HOTEL FOR DINNER AND SOME OF US GOT MASSAGES, WHICH WAS SO RELAXING AND WE LOVED IT! NOW WE ARE EXHAUSTED AND READY FOR BED! CIAO BELLA!
