Team USA

Norwegian fans of all ages are really into the volleyball action. I could not pass up this photo opportunity...his hat, his stance, his attitude... all so cute I had to take a picture.

Here are the ladies of Team USA watching Nick Lucena and Brad Keenan play against Norway in the stadium. The boys won in two sets and will advance out of their pool. After the day of play, we went out to dinner in town. On our way to the restaurant (at 9:45PM) we came across this hot air balloon. We watched as they filled it up and raised it in the sky. Pretty cool.

We ate at a Mexican restaurant in Norway! Not exactly authentic Mexican, but pretty close! At least they had a sombrero! It was my birthday, so I got to wear the "birthday sombrero." It was so much fun hanging with everyone.

Today we will go cheer on the USA teams that play today. We have the day off, but we will practice at 5PM. After that, they have the "drawing of the lots" to see who plays who and at what time.

It is another beautiful day here. We packed our winter clothes because it is usually cold and rainy. We brought scarves, jackets, raincoats, hats, layers and layers of warm weather gear, but it has been in the 70s and sunny every single day! Perfect!

Coney Island starts this Friday and we are very bummed to miss it. If we were home, we would be flying there today. I am sure it will be a great event with some great competition. We will be following online.

We plan to celebrate the 4th of July with a big Team USA celebration. That is the last day of the event, so we can all relax a bit and have some fun.

We are heading out to the site now to cheer on EY/Nicole against the German girls. Maybe I will stop by and get strawberries while I am at it! ;)

More later!
