Tossa de Mar pics

Priceless

Gelato on the beach = €2

A nice lunch in a restaurant overlooking the sea = €35

Cliff diving into the Mediterranean Sea on a beautiful sunny day = PRICELESS!

Tossa de Mar

We took a boat ride up the coast to Tossa de Mar to the infamous cliff jump! Everyone survived but nearly overdosed on the sun, fun and scenery.

3:00 am wake up call tomorrow to catch the 6:50 flight AF2349 out of Barcelona then the 10:50 flight AF 342 out of Paris.

July 5th

Two games today against two Norwegian teams 12:30 and 4:00. The boys played their hearts out in the blazing sun. We didn't have time to come back to the hotel between games.

The Bird has earned his wings in Barcelona

Opening Ceremony

The opening ceremony was held in a giant indoor sports arena in Blanes, where all the teams from all the different countries were welcomed to the tournament. It was a great event and all the kids were really charged up as we left.

Touring today

Today we'll bus an hour and a half to the Dali Museum.

And then hit the beach in front of the hotel

Tournament pics

Today we played Lund from Sweden in our first game and lost 1-0.

Our second game was against the American Soccer Academy - Maryland. We lost 1-0 to a very polished team.

The boys played well together and really represented our club.

To the Tourmament

With a slight schedule change we have two games today. A 12:30 and 3:30. It's going to be a scorcher out there today. The opening ceremony's are tonight at the fields at 9:00 pm.

The guys got in a little practice after breakfast right across from the hotel.
