Bye Week!

This week was a fun week! We didn't have a game this weekend so it felt like the week was more open. So starting with practices, they were pretty light and fun. Tuesday ran a little bit, practiced some defense, and played some games. Wednesday we played 2 on 2 the whole practice, it was amazing. The only down side was I lost every game. I totally thought me and my partner could have done well and for some reason we just didn't. Oh well, I think we will have many more opportunities to win next time. And Friday we practiced some defense and then played a 5 v 5 game where my team just got crushed. Fun week of practices....

Thursday was a team party day. Everyone from the first men's and woman's teams does to a city called Leuven. The city is a purely a college city. In the place where we were was old market in Leuven. It was a lot of fun. We went to 3 different bars throughout the night. We didn't get back into bed until 530 am. A couple guys on our team were struggling by morning. One guy threw up everywhere and didn't stop throwing up until 6:00 pm the next day. Another player on our team called in "sick", yeah he was hungover. But all in all it was a really fun night. Me and Jessica didn't drink very much. We had this really good beer that has Cherry in it. It completely masks the terrible task of beer. I can actually finish a glass of one of those..... But don't ask for two.

Friday I hung out all day with Manu and it was a perfect day in my book. We went to the Bakery in the morning, played Gears of War 2: The Hoard all afternoon, ate pizza, played ping pong, and played a really fun card game called Sabatour. I got killed in Ping Pong, but I look forward to rematches. Manu is a good player. Sabatour was a super fun game. I can't even explain how fun it is. So in the United States we basically have three popular board games: Monopoloy, Risk and Settlers of Catan. Over here they have a whole company devoted to board games. Supposedly Catan is an old game here and they have way better ones. I am really excited to learn them and bring them back home. The company is called 999 Games. And it is purely a dutch company.

So this leads to this weekend and it has been super relaxed. It has been really nice just to be able to relax with Jessica. We finished 24 season 3 yesterday and we are hoping to rent seasons 1 and 2 later this week. And today went to the bakery, got some amazing sugar bread. Sugar bread is white bread and they infuse into the middle of it a perfect amount of sugar. It tastes so good you don't have to put anything on it... And the rest of the plans are to relax today and get ready cause it is going to pour some rain tonight!

Have a good week!
