Rach and I had a disappointing loss to fellow Americans Boss/Ross this tourney, 16-14 in the 3rd game.  It was an epic battle as always.  Both teams know each other so well and there’s always added emotion with the Olympics approaching and the number of events dwindling.  We had our revenge the next event in Poland.  We hammered them.  This win improved our record to 3-3 against them this year.  Crazy.  Love those girls, but you never know who’s going to come out on top when we play.  I’m sure if you were to ask each team would always say themselves, but the statistics this year say it’s a flip of a coin….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice back drop.  Rach and I played 3 matches on this court.  It was beautiful.

  

 

 

 

 

 

Week #4 Stare Jablonki, Poland

 

 

 

 

 

 

How did we manage to get ourselves in Stare Jablonki?  Well, it’s more important and exciting to ask how did we get out of Stare Jablonki.  We did the planes, trains, and automobile thing.  I’m not a snob and normally travel pretty well, but this was a nightmare.  Overnight trains were made for backpackers or people traveling with a light load.  We were neither.

Each of us came complete with a rolling suitcase, a computer bag, a duffle bag and a backpack.  Remember, we had packed for 8 weeks.  I think we managed to tick everyone off as we dragged our luggage down the narrow halls knocking into everyone and thing.  Ahh, and at around 2:30am we had to switch trains and do it all again….

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Big glass trophies just don’t travel well.  Sorry to say, this one never made it home in one piece.
