Individual Tournament Week

I just finished the individual tournament and got 20th of of 40 girls which is great, considering the fact that I can play another 5 times! I played 6 matches, won three and lost three against girls from Germany, Austria, France, Spain, and Switzerland. I had an amazing time and was able to watch some intense matches. Today, we get a rest day, and then the team tournament starts! We're going to the inner city with the train from our hotel with the Belgian team(they speak Flemish, a dialect of Dutch). I'm still getting used to it. Thankfully, I can get away without Finnish; I only know the numbers up till five, vesi(water), and kiitos(thank you). So far this week, the weather hasn't been very good but I was in the squash center or the hotel most of the time so it didn't matter. But today, the sun is shining!!

Arrival

I arrived in the Netherlands on Wednesday!! I''m already in Finland though, and today I play my first squash match! Here are pictures I took on the plane of Holland.

Introduction

Intro

As it so happens, I will be in Europe from April 9-May 5 for a few squash tournaments and I will be writing about the places I will be going, which are The Netherlands, Finland, and Italy. Unfortunately The Netherlands is as flat as a pancake so the tectonic plates there aren't too interesting. Also, I won't be able to go to the Southern Hemisphere so this blog will be part real and part made-up.  I hope you enjoy the blog!
