Sorry it took so long to get this blog going, the internet services at the hotel and not reliable and most of the time the internet service is down.
First of all Mallorca Spain is beautiful, and the people here are very friendly. Luckily I speak Spanish, so I am able to communicate with everyone easily. I am the translator of my team!! They are so happy that I can speak!!! The four players on our team is Fran Chandler, Tennessee, Gretchen Magers, California, Mary Dailey, Florida, and Me, Mariana Hollman from North Carolina. We have a very very strong team this year and I think we will bring home the CUP!!!
There are almost 20 different teams in our age group this year. We are in the group with Estonia, Australia, and Sweden. We played the Aussies yesterday, a tough first round for us, but we won, 3-0. Gretchen played one and won in a tough 2 sets, Fran won easily, but still a good opponent, and Mary and I played a great doubles match and we won 6-4 in the 3rd set.
There was a long rain delay yesterday so we started late and did not finish until 8:30 pm. Long DAY!!!
We played this am against Estonia. I played #2 and won easily, Fran played 1 and won easily and the doubles is being played now. We should win that easily also!!!
The Men's 55's team are near our site, but all teams are playing all around the island, so it's tough to see any of the the other teams playing!!
We are done for the day, we just won the doubles so off to ride around the island we go!!! A little shopping, a little beach action Tough life!!!
