Day 8 - Settimo Torinese, Italy


Jaime and Audrey walking to downtown Settimo


Our first morning in Settimo Torinese Italy was a relaxing one. We all met downstairs for breakfast then walked downtown. Tom gave us an assignment to take many photographs. Since it was kind of a gray, dreary morning, the pictures turned out pretty good.

We headed back to the hotel for lunch, then left for the gym. We had two matches that both went to four games. The first match was against the Italian Youth National team. We saw them in the hotel the night before and thought they were a pro team because of their size, we were very surprised to find out that they are all just 15 and 16 years old! There were 2 kids who were over 6'5" - they are going to be amazing in a few more years!

The second match was against theLilliput Settimo Torinese B-2 team who we will play again tomorrow night.


Afterward, we came back to the hotel, ate dinner, then headed to our rooms. We were all pretty tired and went to bed!
