Training and Touring the Town (Sunday, March 16)

Well, we weren't sure if day one could be any busier and then we ran into day two! It was a full day that ended with all of us full in the belly from a wonderful dinner...Here is a brief re-cap followed by some entries in detail with photos and more...

1. Training at the San Lorenzo de Almagro complex with the women's coaches at that club...we worked on some skills and shooting. It was very hot but a fun workout.

2. Back to the hotel for a quick lunch and change.

3. City tour of Buenos Aires with stops at the Recoleta graveyard site of Evita Peron, the Boca Juniors soccer stadium (La Bombanera) and El Caminito area in Boca, the San Telmo shopping district, the government square....Plaza de Mayo...and the Pink House (Argentine equivalent of the White House).

4. Dinner and dessert at Rodizio restaurant along the Rio de la Plata!

Back to the hotel and preparing for a big day on Monday, with a 2:15 P.M. kickoff in our first match in which we'll face professional club Huracan. Then it's off to a big dinner and some of us will be going to a Tango lesson and show....AWESOME!
