Farewell to the Swiss!!
It all started when innebandy met basketball on Friday afternoon. Sophia, Hjort, Patte, Dysli, Christoph and Mathias all showed up to play some basketball with me!! I am not going to lie but it was really funny to watch at first. I couldn't even concentrate and had no focus what-so-ever for probably the first 20 minutes. It was great to see how competitive these guys got. We ended up playing a 3 game series of 3 on 3. Patte, Hjort, and Dysli were one team and the other team was me, Christoph, and Mathias. The first game we lost...I know, I can't believe I am admitting that. But like I said, it was really hard for me to focus. Then we re-grouped after the first game, had a little team meeting, and won the next two games!! It was fun watching the guys get really competive with it, nobody wanted to lose. I didn't really think I would get a workout from it, but by the time it was over I had gotten a sincere workout in. Sophia took some pictures and I will have to post some of those later.
So then Friday night I went to the go-away party for the Dalen Swiss guys who are moving back to Switzerland next year. It was a lot of fun and a really good group of people that all got along very well. I was pretty much the only person there that didnt have any connection with innebandy. But I quickly made some new friends and it was great dancing the night away!! Here are some pictures from the night!!
I think it's really sad that Christoph, Mathias, and Marc are leaving and not going to be here next year. Really sad...they will be missed. But I wish them the best of luck and I hope someday I may see them again. Good luck guys and thanks for the good times here in Umeå!!
Today I went and watched my friend Danny play american football, in their first game of the year. They had a game vs. Sundsvall and won 16-0!!! It was really interesting watching football all the way over here in Sweden. It was really different actually! Different...I think that's the best word! Most the game though I was explaining all the rules to the people watching. Nobody really understands football here, so I spent a lot of time trying to describe all the rules...which there are a lot so it was difficult at times. Hopefully I did an okay job of explaining, but I do have a feeling my friend Sophia was a little bored with it. I mean the game did last 3 hours. I'm so glad they got the win though!! Grattis Danny!!
Some good old footbal!!
Tonight I am having a relaxing evening, watching the Da Vinci Code on tv and eatling some godis (candy)!! Nice to have a calm night!!
Well later everyone!! Keep it real!!
