¡Happy birthday Laia!
Friday, August 28th, 2009Hi again everybody!
This week was not that bad, we left Seville on Tuesday after nine wonderful days, and then we went to Zaragoza. By the way, Seville is really beautiful, but it is so hot. My free day I went with my friends that came to see me and support me, and we could not even walk on the street, it was 43 degrees outside, but it seemed even hotter. You know, every summer, there is a friendly argument with my friends, we try to be as tan as possible, and I use to be the tannest, but everytime that I go with the national team I lose my tan and they always beat me.
Like I was saying, we took the AVE on Tuesday to go to Zaragoza. We arrived to Zaragoza and it was incredible, there were a lot of people waiting for us on the station, it was very nice. The bad thing was that not everybody could get autographs from their favorite players, we tried to sign as much as we could, that is why I say thanks for theis support.
Well, Wednesdat was the game against Israel. The first half was really tough, but we charged our batteries and we ended winning by 23. There was not any big fact about that game, and I was a little worried thinking about what fact I was going to be able to tell you guys. I was trying to think about something funny until we went to eat dinner. At the restaurant there was a ham, a ham that looked really good, but this is normal because there are a lot of hams, the thing is that the ham was from our friend Jose Calderon. From here I want to send a big hug to Jose. He is from Extremadura, and there are very good hams over there.
Thursday arrived and we had to play against Poland. T was a very complicated game, where they were winning by two points when the game was almost done. But when the things are going bad, is time for the playmakers to play, and that time, Juanki (Navarro) made 9 points and a three pointer from seven meters, amazing. We ended winning by 5, and the fact of the tournament (negative fact by the way, but you can see some funny things), was that I did not score any point, and I tried so hard haha! I promise to punish myself with a shooting session tomorrow.
Today, Friday, we had a day free and they made us a Fideua, a tipical dish from here, and it was really good. But only some of us could enjoy the fideua because some of the players went with their families.
My family also came, my brother, my sister in law, my mom, my sister (who turned 13 last Thursday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!), my cousin and my uncle, but all ofthem left this morning. I am going to call them to see if they have arrived because they were driving and the car had a little accident when they were coming to Zaragoza and the car needed to go to the mechanic. The mechanic told them that the car had to go at 120 km/h. I’m sure they did not have any ticket.
I want to say bye to all the Zaragoza supporters, but only to the “maños”, because last time I said that the people from Sevilla was really nice, and I got comments from other people saying that there were also more poeple from somewhere else. So I send a big hug to everybody! See you guys in Múrcia!
