Today we were all startled at 745am by a friendly wake up call from our concierge, and headed downstairs to another pastry breakfast. This time, though, it included eggs, yogurt slash milk (think danimals drinkables), pear juice, and luckily cornflakes. Practice was definitely the highlight of the trip so far. It felt great to get back on the Turf, and the Argentine coaches were so knowledgeable. The coach running the practice, Lalo, is also an international field hockey star in Argentina, so thats a bonus. He made all of the drills worth points, and awarded them for good execution and goal scoring. Congrats to Tamlyn, the t shirt winner, and Lindsay, who won an Argentina jersey for learning to drag flick. The goalie´s consolation prize was an invite to the National Holiday party next week.
Soon, we head to our first match, an we hope we make it on time. The city has tons of traffic, none of which is guided by lights or lanes, yikes! Stay tuned for the results of our first game.
