Lunging 2 London

Took a quick flight up to the Bay Area (my new home) to get set for our first game in our four game series with Hungary. First game is hosted at Avery Aquatic Center, by far one of the nicest polo venues in the world. I hear there will be over 2,500 in attendance. Can't wait to see that place packed.

Stanford club kids met the team at the airport with signs and pictures which was cool to see. The club provided a party bus for us to travel in. Not what we're used to but really cool and way better than vans.

Quick practice at the pool and a meet and greet for the girls to sign autographs.

For dinner, Adam's brother hosted the team for a BBQ and pre showing of Disney Pixar's Brave in the Krikorian 3D home theater. Pretty cool.

Next up, game vs Hungary. Should be a good one.

Thumbs up for the Bay Area.
