Ciao!!

Ciao. Hope all is well back in the states…everything is going well here in Italy. This has been an experience of a lifetime for me, it was my first time on an airplane and it was a bit overwhelming but so far it has been a wonderful price to pay. Today the group toured the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. It was absolutely remarkable and it made me feel like a part of history. Tomorrow we are heading off to Montecatini. I am having a time of my life and it is extra special that I get to spend it with my teammates, coaches, and family. You’ll be hearing from us soon but for now arrivederci.

Hi All! This trip thus far has been one that I will remember forever. Not only am I with my teammates but also some of my best friends. Today was our first game and I must say we hustled our butts off. Basketball here is a little different than back in the states but we learned quickly the rules by which the Italians play. To my family… I must say I miss you. Hope all is well!

Hey everyone, Italy is amazing, but I have to say I miss home. We got to see so much in Rome in just our three days here. Our trip is off to a great start, and we can’t wait to go to Tuscany tomorrow and Lake Como later in the week. Our first game went pretty well especially with just learning their rules, and it is fun to see how they play over here. Well hope everything is going well back in the states!

Hey everybody. It is nice to be in Italy and it is a great experience with my new teammates. After playing our first game tonight, I am very excited for the upcoming season. As for Italy, I am excited for Montecatini. And Mom and Dad I miss you guys.

To my fellow Americans, this has been an amazing trip so far. Italy is such a beautiful place with amazing sites to see. Rome has been a lot of fun and the Colosseum was my favorite so far! Aside from just Italy, this has also been a great time with my team, family, and coaches. I can’t wait to go to Montecatini tomorrow and experience new things. Today, I bought an umbrella for five euros; I like it a lot.

Hi. Italy has been a great experience so far, and I have enjoyed all of the site seeing. Today was awesome seeing the Colosseum even though I forgot to charge my camera battery. Oops. Hopefully the rest of the trip has more great memories to come. To my family; I miss you all tons, and I can’t wait to see you.
