This is before the last game i played. The bus' A/C switch broke on a three hour bus ride but it broke in the on position which made the inside freezing. that was the only time i had flashbacks of being in Switzerland.
Puerto Rico has been amaizing!! When i got here three weeks ago it was on a contract that guaranteed my stay for seven games. pretty much since day one i have been trying to figure out a way to prolong my stay. i finished up my contract last thursday and, since im writting this on Monday, you can all see that i have found a way to stay. I was unable to play in a game we had last Saturday because of league rules but this allowed me to take a few pictures of the game and even some video. i will leave a link at the bottom of the page so everyone can get an idea of how the crowds are. the other big thing here in PR is the night life. i had no idea what to expect coming here nor did i really have anytime to think about it. this made things interesting when i found out that after every game the whole team goes out together and its not unusual to get back home just as the sun begins to come out. i've seen more sunrises here then i ever have before and its such an amaizing

The two guys on the left are Carlos Guerra and Gustavo Meyer. they both played in Switzerland and were on the All Star team with me. Im living with Gustavo now and Carlos is on another team. the guy on the right is our libero, Pedro.
sight that i dont know whether i want to start waking up earlier to enjoy them or just continue staying out all night. Ha Ha just kidding mom. As you all can tell things are going well here and being able to say has been a definite plus. thats all for now.


here is the link to the video of our last game. my team is the team closest to the camera in the yellow and blue. mainly watch the crowds reaction when we make mistakes. enjoy!
