Rhein River

Hi all!!!

sorry for taking so long to post but the last week or so things have gotten really hard!!!! We are working hard and I am also tired all the time. Anyway, enough of me complaining!!!


So, we had a great week of practice 2 weeks ago. We trained with a team from China. they were really good and fast and think it was a great experience for our team. The chinese were here for 1 week training with us and helping us get better. We also had some fun and that's the purpose of this blog today.


Saturday mourning we (chinese and us) went on a boat ride on the Rhein River (rio Reno). We had a little bit of time to get to know one another a little more. It was a difficult task since they only speak chinese!!! But I was determined to learn a little bit more about them. So, I tried using my hand and make signs and stuff like that. One thing that I found to work pretty good was to smile. They could not understand anything that I was trying to say but it was very rewarding to interact with them and understand that they were happy to be here.
We also had a water fight (as shown on th picture below), at the end Steff and I were soaked!!!
This is the Chinese coach, he is a great guy and I really liked him!!

Hope you all enjoyed the pictures and I hope to post another blog soon!!!!
