It is Sunday and we had a great day of practice!! Everyone is getting more comfortable with the high altitude but are still struggling with the breathing. The breakfast are fantastic. Everything you could imagine for breakfast is available. The opening ceremonies are this afternoon so everyone is getting their workouts in and getting ready for later today. Everyone looked great at the opening ceremonies. It is so nice to see all the different countries represented and all of the different warm ups with their countries colors and names on them. We were called country by country (just like the olympics) and walked into a big stadium. Surprisingly there were alot of people there and each country was cheered by the crowd.
It felt as though we were in the OLYMPICS!!! After everyone marched in, there were several speeches made and then a great Mexican dancing performance. Just before the dancers came out, they opened the ceremony by lighting a torch (just like the olympics). This is one of my favorite opening ceremonies I have been to. The show lasted for about 2 hours then we all went around the courtyard and had some authentic Mexican food. From there we went and had some Italian food. There is an Italian restaurant near the hotel where most of the players have become attached to. The food is great and it is close.
The draws have been posted and we are seeded #1. We do have a strong team again this year and deserve the seeding. We have the day off tomorrow and play on Tuesday, we will play Mexico. So tomorrow we practice and check out our opponents for Tuesday's match. Well I am tired and need to go to bed!!!
