The Americans team up for Thursday night soccer



It's 11:00 pm here in Bardejov, and tomorrow we start our first day of English camp promotions in the schools. This means we need to leave the house by 7:30 in the morning. For Phil, who has been getting up early every day, this will be no problem. For me, who has been waking up around 9 or 10 every day, this will be quite a shock. For Grant, who has been making a habit of waking up around noon, this may............well we may have to leave Grant behind. (Don't worry, he's going to set an alarm).

We spent some time this afternoon in preparation for our day of promotions tomorrow. Grant, Phil and I had a meeting with Ed where we discussed the logistics of our presentation and the schedule of the camp. Then, while Ed met with some of the Slovak church leaders to discuss some more directional issues with the English camps, Grant, Phil and I brainstormed some game ideas to use in the classrooms.

Later on this evening, we went over to Ed and Wendi's neighbor's house and explored the extensive landscaping they are doing being their property. There is a hill directly behind their house where they have built an incredible winding stairway. We walked up to the top and had a tremendous view of the city. Phil and I got some good pictures on and around their landscaping.

At 7:30 we went once again to Ed's Thursday night Soccer league. This time, they split us up into 3 teams of 4 and we rotated on and off round-robin style, playing 10 minute games. They decided to put the 4 Americans on the same team. We held our own for the first 4 games, going 3-1, but then we tanked at the end and lost our last 3. The whole night was a lot of fun and pretty much every game was decided by one goal!

Well, I'm going to wrap this post up because we've got a big day tomorrow and we're starting early!

Until next time, this is Ben signing off from Bardejov.
