It's noontime Monday and another 80 degree sunny (AND SMOGGY) day here in Cairo. So far, no serious reprocussions from the water fiasco so thats good news. The team is resting up for a big match vs.Ireland this eve. I will be the clean water girl. Our practice courts were shortened so I didnt get a hit this morning so as my teammates were hitting, I had the pleasure of watching the Malasian team warm-up, complete with world #1, Nicol David. WOW! She makes it look so easy. The level of play here is not surprisingly WORLDS above what we saw in Colombia. And there are fewer courts in this club and its all women so it really has a very different feel as a tournament. Both are incredible experiences to have. My teammates have friends from other countries so we've had a bit of overlap with South Africa, Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Canada, to name a few. While it does feel very international, I am reminded of home as they have set up a portable Starbucks here at the club. I don't do coffee but there is always a long line for a latte...This afternoon brings live Vitamin D and a few pages of my KenKen poolside...today's sightseeing shall be watching USA take on Ireland..What a sight!
