Waiting for the Games to Begin (Wednesday)


Waiting for the games to begin!  Team USA is ready.  Wednesday morning we had a chance to sleep in a bit with a 10:00 breakfast.  Today involved a 10:45 meeting to go over the scrimmage film and then off to practice.

After the evening practice the players were treated to a restaurant meal at Mr. Wok which is across the street from our hotel.  The buffet line was filled with choices and many items were available to be put on the grill.












The adults took cabs to a restaurant, La Lobera de Martin, not far from the hotel.  We enjoyed lots of starters (pawns, grilled artichokes, tomato salad, and bread), steak and sea bass for main entrees, and then an assortment of desserts.

An enjoyable meal together.
