Wednesday - No Game

Wednesday only the teams that lost from the Round of 16 play.  Our next game will be Thursday.  We will play Korea who beat China in the Round of 16.

Breakfast, lunch and then a short afternoon tour of the Old Town of Zaragoza.  At 1:00 we loaded into taxis and headed to this historic area.  For about an hour a tour guide walked us through Basilica Del Pilar, to the old Roman wall, highlighted other buildings along the Pilar Plaza and ended up at the San Salvador Cathedral.
