The clouds moved!
Today started off strong-- I beat the #7 world ranked fencer Bianco 15-7. She has always been afraid of me and its fun to just cement in her mind that she can't touch me. Unfortunatly, I lost my bout in the 32 to danion 12-15... some mediocre french fencer who got dominated by Velikaia in the next round(15-2?). I was so mad!!! I've always wanted to fence Velikaia, and I messed up my chance!! I would love to decimate "The Great One" (her last name translated from Russian). Oh well, next tournament I suppose. Stupid french fencers and there odd-timed continuation attack and messy parries getting in the way!!! OK, actually more like stupid Eileen making a stupid decision in the last touch! hahaha. Oh well, I think next time she's going down for sure.
despite everything I'm really having a great time with my fencing and with my teammates.
Off to watch pirates of the carribean with the piratess herself (emma baratta)... I have my taxi, train, an bus all set up for tomorrow + practice at the barcelona club Tues/W.
32nd overall--- why do I always get 32nd?! lol why not 17th?! Goal for next week: fence looser in pools.

Hi honey--Oh well! You beat a couple of big ones and learned about messy parries etc. (!!) You just keep it up! A. Betty says Good job! I love you. Grandma
Well, too bad about losing to Danion, but you beat the Italian...fencing looser in pools sounds like a good goal for Ghent. Hope your trip to Vienna and on to Barcelona went well. We saw a ballet in SF Saturday, Don Quixote, which is partly set in Barcelona! You'll have to tell me if you see anyone tilting at windmills...
