Barcelona is awesome. Yesterday we went to a beautiful Catholic church. They have been building it for 150 years and still aren´t finished. Our tour guide said it will take at least another 50 years to build. The detail on the stone outside was absolutely incredible. After walking around the church for 20 minutes and enjoying it´s elegance, we went to the soccer store (apparently it is the biggest soccer store in Barcelona). Many girls bought FC Barcelona jerseys and other great paraphernalia.
After spending half our money on the first day, we went to a restaurant on the ocean where we enjoyed a 3 course meal next to the waves. The food was fabulous. We headed back to the hotel after lunch to take a siesta with the rest of the city. We all enjoyed some sleep (except those who were on the floor with the high school Spanish girls). Then, we headed over to our field to play our first game. We won 3 to 1, but the game was much different as there really were no fouls. Any time we touched one of their players the referee called a foul. But we still came out on top and were happy with our result.
Finally, we got back to the hotel, showered, and got dressed and went out to downtown Barcelona to a discoteca (dance club) to celebrate a team mates birthday! It was much fun. I must go eat breakfast now...Danika Wright (´11 Captain)
