More Eger....

Today we woke up early for breakfast. Then we went on a walking tour, we went to town hall to meet the mayor of Eger. Instead we met the vice mayor but learned some cool facts about the city. This is a picture of town hall. It is way coller in person but I must admit this picture makes it look nice anyhow.

This is the meeting room where we met the vice mayor. Again beautiful.

More polo tonight. Keep on keepin' on.

Thumbs up.

Eger Polo

The girls out in front of the pool in Eger.

Picture of where ZF Hungária Kft. plays. Such an amazing building and pool. This is where the First Division team plays and they just won their championship or something not sure of the details.

This is the pool we're playing at. It's filled with natural spring water and has a rock/pebble bottom. Smells slightly of sulfer but the water feels great. Such a cool historic feel.

LAX -> London -> Budapest

The team in Heathrow Airport in London....12hrs of travel.

Just off the plane in Budapest....somewhere between 15-20hrs since LAX.

Short 2 hr bus ride later we check into Hotel Eger in Eger, Hungary. 3am local time. 24hrs and 30mins since meeting at LAX. To bed and up early for practice.

Looks like that's it....Thumbs up! From Eger Hungary.

Off to Hungary

Foothill Club Water Polo at the airport for ten days in Eger and Budapest. Polo with the best in the world.

Thumbs up from LAX!

It was a long week of great polo and at times amazing polo. Incredible group of 58 girls at the camp. They were fun, energetic, excited to play and ready to compete. In the end we could only take 10 (3 more would be moved to the Cadet team from the Youth team) to give us our final roster of 13.

Next stop for these girls, training Aug 1-3, UANA Youth Championships Aug 4-13 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Point B. No straight lines connecting here.
