Photos of the last few days...

Attached are some pictures from our final days in Barcelona. It has truly been an amazing trip. Thanks to everyone who helped make this trip possible. Thanks as well to our fabulous hosts at Gaudium Sports. We got to see so much of what the city has to offer in addition to playing against excellent teams. Each player has grown tremendously on this trip and in turn the team has become much stronger. It is definitely something Peter, the guys and I will remember for the rest of our lives.

Tristan
Tristan was feeling a bit under the weather so we put him in quarantine.

Las Ramblas Market
The market on Las Ramblas was full of fresh fruit, juices, nuts, meats, cheeses, etc. It was also likely full of pickpockets, but we all made it out in tact.

Saint Andreu Club Pool
The "country clubs" we play at here contain tennis and volleyball courts, gyms, restaurants and lounging pools in addition to the competition pools.

Team Lunch at the High Performance Training Center
The guys are eating very well on this trip.

Park Guell
Park Guell was built in the early 1900's inspired by Gaudi intended to be a city full of houses and shops. It didn't take off but Gaudi still built two houses there.

Tour of Park Guell
Our tour guide Elena informing us of the history of the Park.

View of the City
One of the other perks of Park Guell is it is high atop a mountain overlooking the city and the sea.

El Drac
Dom, Benji and Harrison posing with the famous salamander at the main entrance to the Park.

Head Soccer
Unfortunately this was the main activity for everyone on all bus and metro rides (other than sleeping). But we did institute a "no cell phone" policy at dinner.

The Magic Fountains
These fountains, located very close to our hotel, display an amazing water, light and music show every Friday-Sunday night from 9:30pm on. I highly recommend it if you visit Barcelona.

Water Show
Josh, Dom and Cory in front of the fountains.

Nico
The good news is that I think we convinced Nico to get a haircut when we get home. The bad news is I think Barcelona has probably run out of gummy bears after the amount of bags he consumed this week.

Master Class
Gaudium Sports arranged a "master class" for us on our last full day. "Guim" ran the class which started in a classroom with high technology video featuring both above and under the water demonstrations, and concluded with two hours in the water focusing on counter attack. The man in blue on the right is Joao. He was our main guide during our trip.

Guys with Frank
Frank is one of the partners of Gaudium Sports and organized everything for us. He is also a devout fan of FC Barcelona and a lifetime ticket holder.

Last Night
The last night on my last Agoura trip.
