First Training












































Well, I was off to my first training with the national team in madrid this morning! Theres two metro changes and a bus involved, and to get there on mass transport takes me about an hour and 15 minutes! But anyways, no biggie and this morning I fenced for about an hour with the girls. It seems like they really don't actually fence a lot! hahaha. So, I'm still kind of figuring out what my schedule will be. Evidently they fence more in the afternoons on tuesday and thursday, and I will see how it goes in Jose Luis' club and then kind of make my schedule. Everyone here has been amazingly nice to me, and Jose Luis is being very helpful in offering me anything as well. The first picture is of me at the national sport institute in spain...withthe saber girls..and all the coachs and Ezequiel who are helping me.

You are sure to be a mass transit expert by the time you leave Madrid. What part of Madrid is the national sports institute in? I know that Fuenlabrada is a ways southwest -- almost half way from Madrid to Toledo.

I remain in wonder at all of the world experiences you are having and have had. I am so happy for you! Love you!
