Go team!

I snagged a few pics from the game last night so you all can see where I practice and who with. Team Navarra (that´s us) smoked team Logrono by about 20, it was awesome. To the left is a picture of the gym from the bleachers up above. Usually, while we practice, two screens are down, dividing it into 3 courts, which we use one of. There´s also a sport court with a blue rubber floor in another building that we sometimes practice on. Down at the far end, you can see team Navarra chatting at halftime.



This picture to the right is sorta blurry, I had to brighten it a lot. Team Navarra is in blue. #14 is Maria. This is pretty much where she stays on offense, or "attaque" as it´s called here. She likes to rome around the 3, hit a shot or drive. I think Izaskun and Pui are in the middle, following the shot. Those two are some hard workers. Izaskun drives and finishes really well and Puis always all over the place. I can´t tell who´s being blocked out in the post, but Anna took the shot, barely visible on the right. She´s only 16 years old and a very good shooter.

I found out last nigth that most of my team is are still in their teens! Maria and Pui are 23 and 25, but the average age is probably 19. It´s so weird I´m playing with girls who are younger than ones I´ve coached. But, whatever, as long as it´s basketball.

Now, I want to show you a picture of Lourdes and I, since she´s so wonderful and sweet...
She doesn´t usually have that weird look on her face, I just don´t think she was ready for the picture. It´s the only one I have of she and I, so, sorry Lourdes.

Finally, here is a lovely picture of myself in my element... writing blogs to my friends and family back home in my sweet gnome pajamas on a Sunday morning.


Have a great Sunday! It´s gorgeous here in Darblona, sunny and crisp. I better get a run in before the "chocolate drawer" placed accessibly in the kitchen and filled with Swiss Milka chocolate, catches up with me. I think it´s safe to say I´ve had a bit of chocolate in some form every day I´ve been here. Yikes stripes! Love to ya.
