Day 4 – Berlin
By Samantha Pitzl

We got up and went to our normal breakfast then went straight to an early practice where we did some team work, and scrimmaged Front Range. 

After practice we went back to our rooms to shower and have a little break. Then after our little break (for once), we went to lunch. After lunch most of our team went to the little snack shop to get chocolate and pop.  

After we ate we went to watch Front Range play the Czech team and won in the 5th game…it was very close. 

Then we walked back to our rooms to get changed for dinner and our 8 o’clock match against the Czechs. For dinner we had chicken shiskabobs and mash potatoes, our first good dinner at the place we are staying. Yay! 

Right after dinner we went to sit in the lobby for awhile and Adam found us internet for free, we were all very excited to find them because many of us haven’t been able to communicate with our friends families and boyfriends the whole trip. 

When we got to the gym the Czech team was there so we started warming up. We did very well in our match. We won in 4 games. It was very exciting for us.  

After our match Adam and Curt took us to get ice cream, we were all very happy because we don’t get anything with ice, or any thing cold here. It was also storming out so we Cory gave us a ride back to our rooms, it was amazing because we are so sick of the 15 min walk. 

When we got to our rooms we hung out together then many of us were tired so we went to bed at a decent time. Tomorrow is our day of shopping in Berlin, all the girls are really excited to buy things. 

Love, Sam 

Ps. I miss my parents, friends, and John.. I love you all.
