DAY 9 - GC Day 3

Hi again - two posts in one night!! Kaila's team had a big day today again, facing two very strong teams - first OK Pula (who are now playing in the finals tomorrow), and the Slovenian Youth team (who they scrimmaged with in Ljubljana). The girls lost both games, but played very tough. In between matches, me and Mom walked down to a little beach just down the street - the Adriatic Sea is wonderful - the blue is so deep, the water is so clear (and so salty it's easy to float!). While we were there we watched a sailboat race that started in our lagoon and headed out to sea. We're all gearing up for a big final day tomorrow, with the girls playing for 7th place tomorrow morning at 9 AM against Romania (out of a field of 16 teams). After the Championship matches, there will be a GC 2008 Closing Ceremony, then we pack and take the bus for Pordenone/Venice.

Keep us posted on the homefront!!! James & Hannah - hope you're having a blast in Laguna!!
