This morning we woke up and met downstairs for breakfast and it was really good. There was a lot of food anywhere from scrambled eggs to pastries. Then we all went back up stairs and got ready for the day. We then walked to the Old Olympic Stadium; it was really big and exciting to see. After we saw the stadium we then started on our long journey up a HUGE mountain that took a while to climb it was excruciating, we were sweating bullets.
It seemed like a dessert, but once we finally reached the top it was well worth our time. The view was amazing and you could see the whole city, from the acropolis to the ocean. Then we began the walk down, which seemed just as long as the one going up. Once we reached the bottom we went to lunch in groups and all went back to the hotel. Some people went up to the roof and layed out to tan, others went shopping.
Then after we all had napped and were rested up for the day we met with the coaches and Curt took us out to get ice cream.It was really good since it was hot outside. Then we all went back to the hotel to begin getting ready for the last match we would play together in Europe. We were playing the Greek Team. After we got ready we walked down to the taxi pick up and we all got into our taxis. Me, Lauren and Dee were in one taxi and Mollie, Kristin and Katie were in another.
It started off sorta rough because we had to argue about the pricing of the taxi the drivers were not very friendly. The driver in Adam’s taxi was weird he had blue lips and fell asleep at the wheel several times during the ride. He also taught the girls many Greek swear words and offered them cigarettes. The Taxi driver in Michelle’s car was also weird. He told her that she had to pay his speeding ticket and was rolling cigarettes in the car; both of the drivers dropped us off at the wrong location so there was an argument. Over all it was a fun and interesting ride. Once we met up with the others at the gym we all got our stuff on and began to warm up. We won all of our games and it was fun.
Then at the end we gave the girls our jerseys. Then we got back into the Taxi’s and drove to the restaurant and ate chicken and French fries, but Sophie had spaghetti because she is a vegetarian. It was over all a really good meal. After dinner we made our way back to the hotel to start packing and get some sleep since we had to wake up early the next morning, since we are leaving for the Greek island!
