I'm Here!

Ohh man what a trip. A horrible 9 hour flight to O'Hare, then a horrible 7 hour layover, then another 2 hour flight, followed by a 7 hour flight to Brussels, Belgium. Luckily for me, I took a Tylenol PM before the flight to Brussels so I slept practically the whole flight.

I was greeted at the air port by our team president Loui, he's a nice guy with a pro porn mustache. He spoke English much better than I expected and was very talkative. Our host father is a 62 year old widower who's been on his own for about 20 years. He lives in a small apartment, and with the exception of a very, very impressive jazz collection, he have very little things in his house. but he is extremely nice and easy to talk with. He loves to drink and smoke.

We met with a couple of players who were very nice and talkative. We also saw our field which was underwater because of a few days of rain. We Americans get special treatment in the club house, we get free food and drinks. All the other players have to pay! We have a preseason game on Saturday so check back for more then! Aloha
