The day dawned bright and beautiful. i was picked up at 9:30 by Jan, Dana's host brother, host sister Liza and host mom Susanna. It was a great day, sunshine all day and the team played well (so said Matt, Wally and Paul - the coaches :)
Here are some pictures of the day.
(Please note all these photos will probably have Dana featured as I was under strict orders from my sister to photograph him especially and if you want to make the photo bigger simply click on it.)
The German organization of the tournament really went all out, foosball tables, target shot cutouts, trophies and a giant inflatable castle and man!!

The boys first all had to line up. There were six teams and they all stood at attention for the German and American National Anthems.

All the boys receiving their trophies and of course their dinner!!
Although long the day was wonderful and they came in sixth I really thought the boys did a great job. I mean they were the number #1 American team at the tournament (so I heard one boy say) Even at the end of the day when they were so hot and sweaty they stood still and listened to at least ten minutes German speaking with very little noise and/or movement!! Wooo hooo :) They can be taught...but only at an early age, maybe :) Great job Wally, Matt and Paul.
Well, that should be enough to get everyone started talking about their trip! I will post of our trip to the Volkswagon plant and the Wolvsburg Stadium tomorrow.
