    Well today has been another wonderful day in Holland. Things have been looking up; we won our first international game!!! The team as a whole has learned an incredible amount from our previous games, and today the team clicked. It's always good for team moral to win a game and play well. After the playing we "socialized" with the other girls and exchanged gifts. Amy Cohen Action

    On the touring aspect, we again visited Amsterdam. The day began with a boat tour around the various canals. Then the shopping started, sorry parents the credit cards were let loose in the fabulous shopping district of the city. The hotel has provided us with five course meals each night; we're beginning to think the other teams are sabotaging us with our full bellies. Little do they know it's our last night in this hotel, tomorrow we'll travel to Motel Bijhorst in Wassenaar.

    Just a little shout out to Amy's parents and Carolyn's Dad and sisters: Hello and sorry about the lack of phone calls. We love you all!
