Day 1 of the Tournament! SCVA Youth played very well, losing to a very strong team of older girls (Pula), and then beating a very good Russian team (it's quite a big deal to have them in this tournament, due in part to the involvement of Nikolai Karpal, a famous Russian coach). Me, mom and Deedee went on a grand adventure to Rovinj (a REALLY cool little coastal town - reminds us of Balboa). We walked around for about 30 minutes, had an ice cream (while we were waiting a boy got an ice cream with at least 12 scoops - it was ginormous), and then had to return to Pula since the traffic into town was so heavy and we didn't want to be late for Kaila's 5 PM game. We went on a side street and found some back alleys with lots and lots of little shops (Darci found some hand-made soaps by "Lush", and I found some very good locally grown wine). Our side streets took as further inland than planned, and we ended up getting lost and taking a taxi to make the 5 PM game (barely made it in time!!).Love you and miss you guys!!
