Cyprus

Hello all!! I took the advice of many and now have a blog so I can keep everyone updated on how things are goin out here in Cyprus! The 25 hours of travel out here were not so bad, I slept most of the way. I landed in Cyprus at about 1 in the morning and thankfully my luggage arrived at the same time too! I had no idea who was goin to pick me up but the president of the club came and picked me up and thankfully he was holding a picture of me so I knew who he was. It was only a half hour drive to the city I would be staying in, Limassol. He dropped me off at my hotel and I crashed for a few hours. The next day I woke up and got to see outside my window and I was right on the beach! Here was the view from my room!


I aslo had my first practice with the team that next night. Everyone was real nice and the best part is that all the girls and my coaches speak English! :) We then had our first game, even though I had only practiced with the team once, but we won in 4! The team is young but we should do well. There is another foreigner on the team, Svetlana, and she is from Bulgaria. We usually practice once a day so that leaves me plenty of time to enjoy the nice weather out here! I have already tried a few of Cyprus' popular foods and I would have to say that I have liked everything I have tried. I do not have a car here but I have a taxi that takes me wherever i need to go. I have met some really nice people here that have taken me for some coffee and have shown me around the city. Everyone has been real nice and has made an effort to make me feel comfortable out here!
