Something More to Blog About
So after having what seemed like the LONGEST and most trying week EVER I had the most Awsome weekend ever!! Well actually the fun started on thur nite when we got to go to the American School to play some adult volleyball...no students, it was GREAT! There level of competition was quite nice, and I was VERY sore the next day from playing so much, but it was totally worth it!! neways it was there that we found out about a 3 on 3 beach volleyball tournament that was going to be held at the US Embassador's Residence this weekend(which we pass all the time going up the mountain - heavely guarded) Kyle, Melissa and I decided to put a team in, thinking we might just do ok.
(Oh by the way yes Melissa Jakola is visiting me right now :D so glad to have a visitor from home!! I think she is enjoying herself, getting to relax and have some hammok time, as well as some v-ball, and this week she is helping out at an orphanage in Valle De Angeles).
So neways after getting up early and making out way to the Embassador's Residence hoping the would let us in, being Canadian and all, we got our first glimpse behind the giant walls. It is quite nice inside the walls, beautiful pool, tennis court, b-ball court and of course a sweet beach court! There were 14 teams playing in the tournament, and one court so we played single elimination knockout. We played the Marine Team first, Melissa and I were a little worried because they were quite large to say the least, however we knocked them out in 2 games. Then came our next challenging game, I would say this was prolly our hardest game, but still won in 2 games. Which brought us to the finals where we again won in 2 games. So yes we ended up with a clean sweep win of the whole tournament 8) There were even medals and prizes. We had the choice between memberships to Cybex gym each, or 120 in cash to split. We decided to go with the money b/c well Melissa wouldn't really benefit from the gym membership, and well Kyle and I work out almost everyday as it is so going to the gym downtown is just not a high priority. Hopefully we will get our money on thur as we are now going regularly to play some ball (forgot just how much I miss it).
Neways here are a few pictures as of lately...pics to come later...computer problems
