Wednesday



Today was another beautiful day with perfect rugby weather in Amsterdam. The picture above was taken on Monday morning during our first training session at the practice fields. We spent the morning working on our offensive system. It was a long practice this morning that lasted a few hours, but we got the afternoon to do whatever we wanted which was much needed since we've been working really hard since we have been here. Things looked like they were coming together by the end of practice, so we went into the rest of the day feeling pretty good.

The team broke into two groups for the afternoon. Some set off to see the tulip fields...however the bus drivers were on strike and sent that group off with wrong directions and they ended up at some wind mill museum. The rest of us stayed around the hotel and entertained ourselves with top model photo shoots, getting to know you games, and a walk around the local neighborhood we are staying in. The afternoon off was nice as we go into a scrimmage against Brazil first thing tomorrow morning...speaking of which, it's late and this little wing's off to bed.

Good night,

SBJ

JoAnne is such a non-conformist being the only wearing a different shirt. But that's why we all love her :)
