Well ladies and gentleman I finally made it to France. It was a long ride especially by myself but I only encounted 1 mistake I missed my flight to Lyon France. My flight from NJ started late and put me way behind. So I was stuck in Paris for longer than expected. Tomorrow will be 1st day really because I started my day late. I was happy to see Pierre big time. Hey its not bad at all here. Ive tried scallops for the 1st time too, pretty good! Hey I got to expand my horizon :) Well I finally talk to my fam too, I bet they were worried a lil bit. The team colors are red, and.... well that all i know I let you know more tomorrow. I saw my apartment for the 1st time to. Its not that bad, It has a balcony and everything. Once I figure out how to put pics on here you all will have tons to see.
Gosh pre- season conditioning for me huh, gosh I know they are going to kill me, but I have the heart I make sure I never give up! I miss France/Honey though m(my Yorkie and pit bull) that I had to leave behind.
Yo its so cold here like 2 degrees here. I was freezing in the airport too, I must admit lil nervous because they talk so fast gotta keep up. Well everyone that I didn't get to talk to you, I'm here now, wish me luck and I will be back before you know it.
Love

Well unfornately we couldnt pull off an upset this time. Although we played harder than ever. We lost to a very good team, that loves to run :) This experience has given me the light to believe that I can further my career and I am not left guessing if I can make it here. Yeah the accomdations wasnt all that but hey i got thru the next day. Maybe the sun and people wasnt nice to me but hey thats just life. I like it here though, hopefully someone will contact me as soon as possible, im going to keep praying and I know you will too! I think I played pretty well. I only had one stand out game the other was pretty average though. I know that Im capable though, just have to get use to the style of play that all.
6:45am I will be leaving here heading to the airport hope you all are ready for my arrival :) never know when I may get a call to just up and leave so Im not expecting to stay too long. Thank u all for reading my messages. See you all in a lil while.
P.S. I have some pictures for all to see. All the sites and everything its really amazing to see!

Well its been a min since Ive been on here. We left for Bonyhad Friday it was a 3 hour trip. Feels like going to country. This tournament had 4 teams. Well in the Tournament we went 1-2 i know pretty suckie huh. Well we got 3rd place in the tournament. First game we lost we were killn them. 46-26 at half, but unfornately we didnt finish the game strong and i think we lost by 8 or so. 2nd game we lost i cant remember the score but i think we lost by 15+. Everyone I know your not going to believe me but i got punched in the face. Yup got stole on lol, i wanted to hit her back but i didnt. I dont know how it works fighting ova here but i do know im not trying to be in jail lol. 3rd game we won by 8 i think. We played them in the beginning but it was a much closer game this time. It was fun though. 1st time for the tour recieving any trophies. Great Job huh!!!
Today is the last game of the tour, starts at 5:30pm. We are playing a team that we played before that kicked our tails but hopefully we can get some revenge this time. Well thats all for today and í will respond as soon as possible of the outcome of the game!

Well what a day! I got up pretty late here around 1pm. Got food around 2:30 and then we had to play at 5:30 crazy huh. Tonight ladies and gentlemen we lost our first game. It was kinda of a blow out too. I know right!!! OUCH a big time ouch. This was a wake up call for everyone. I think we lost by 40 them girls can shoot the ball i tell ya. From anywhere, even if its one step after half court, they throwing it up. They asked anyone would like to join their practice tomorrow, I really want to go up to coach to see if we can, bc we do leave for another part of city that will take up to 3 hrs to get there and we need to leave at a certain time. Hopefully i can still go.
Well I miss home u guys, but not to point where Im getting sick or something. Its ok here!
Write back in the morning u may not here from me in 3 days once I respond on Friday because I dont know if they will have a pc lab where we will be staying. Well enough for now, ttyl

Ok now 1-0 5 more games to go. The score was i think 71-59. Hey they were a good team but check this out this team was full of teenagers. Crazy huh, the oldest was 22yrs. Two of them to be exact. It took us a lil while to get the lead but once we did we never let go. This was a great experience. The refn was crazy i didnt know you could take 3steps after you pick the ball up. lol Also we start on the same side as our bench and there are 4 10 min quarters. Those girls were really aggressive. After the game we exchange gifts with them. I brought a flag and medal to hand out, they really like it. They gave us all humm like a silk scarf or bandana from their country. After that we sat and ate with them. They made us Beef steew. It was good to some of players but unfortnately I had to past down. Well another day has past and I will get back to you
tomorrow, Game Time 6pm Prob.
TTYL

Well everyone I finally made it. I started off to Washington around 4am. I think I got there around 9am or 10am. Well what i thought would be an up and ready to go flight turn into a 8hr delay because the plane engine died right as we took off. (Yeah I know) :O
Well around 11pm we finally got on a plane but instead of Germany we head to London around 3pm, great right!!! WRONG the new airlines messed up our tickets again so again we sleep around the airport until 8pm gosh and finally around 11pm London to Budadpest (New time zone) we land! Thank JESUS  . Other than that everything is going great' my teammates are cool and I think we bonded really well for a new team. My Teammates are crayz and never thought we would have so much fun being stuck at airports for that long of a time.
On another note after only getting hummm... 1hr worth of sleep we get up for practice. Not bad since Im used to getting up but it was so hard to fall asleep last night here bc it like 10 or 11am at home. I dont like where im staying but hey at least its not the worst. There are no tv, well its like a dorm room small and very closed in. Oh yeah by the way no one like to say excuse around here. People bump right into you and keeps it moving its like there all in a hurry for a job interview, but hey its there life. Well I guess thats enough right now. Coach thinks we should get some rest before we crash later on today. Well tata for now everyone and I cant wait ttyl.
