I MADE IT!!!

It's my third day in Japan and I feel like my time here has already gone so fast.  Yesterday was Ray's birthday (today in the states) and we got to celebrate by seeing him play two games in Osaka where he scored 16 and 22 points respectively.  It was great!  The food is amazing, and the scenery has been incredible.

I've already had so many experiences- I can't wait to post pictures.  I've met some amazing people, loved hanging out with tall teammates, the people of Japan are bizarrely kind and polite... I can't believe that I have nearly three weeks here!

Oh by the way, my bags didn't show up... it's been three days and they SHOULD come tomorrow...but its been fine.  

SO, I plan on posting more when I get the chance.  Keep checking back!

I love you all!!

My final days in Spain...

Check out Spookie (cat I grew up with) look alike hiding. There were all kinds of cats jumping out as we made our way to this great Chinese rest. that Stephanie informed us was really good! She was sooo right! Troy treated us all to Gellato after dinner! What a great time I had in Spain....Thank you so much Steph & Troy! Your kindness really meant so much to me :)

Tarragona the Beautiful

To give you an idea about how much I loved Tarragona....if I ever get married I think it might have to be here instead of Thahiti! lol

Juventus Pizza!

After the game we went to Sylvia's Italin rest. and I could not pass up a Juve' Pizza (my favorite soccer team thanks to Poalo) Notice colors of the pizza....I found my new favorite city! Tarragona Spain! Lord willing, I will get to return in the future to have a week to tour

Some exciting Plus-Pujol Basketball

Just a few shots from Troy's game. Very exciting game even though we lost in the last seconds. That's Linsay and I with the beautiful Stephanie in the stands....as you can see, Steph and I got a little "shooting around" play time before the game :)

Barcelona tour trip

Of all the places to eat in Spain I was craving a Subway! That church "La Sagrada Familia" is over a hundred years in the making. That's Troy getting ready to eat the sweets like Ray would eat a peacon pie! Oh that's just sparkling cider i'm drinking....a big girl like me would look funny with a small glass right? :)

Thanksgiving dinner on the 27th!

I think this could be the most fun I've ever had cooking in my life! What a lovely time I had visiting Stephanie and Troy for Thanksgiving weekend in Lleida Spain. The group shot is from L. to R. Linsay, me, Stephanie and Sylvia. What a grand time!
