*** I am leaving this typed as is since it is sooo special with the typos-Val***
Hello! It is Taylor and Brittany here! This morning we woke up super tired and here is why: A few days ago Allie and I were obsessed with finding a place that we could see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II! (PS this computer won"t let me type regularly> I can"t type periods only exclamation marks! and question marks? and i have to turn on the caps lock to type with capital letters) anyway allie and i went to the front desk and asked if there were any cinemas nearby (they dont call them movie theaters here)> She said that there werent any> She did say though that harry potter was playing at eleven PM in the colosseum!!!!!! we got super excited but we didnt think that Hava and VAL WOULD LET US SEE IT (OKAY THE COMPUTER DECIDED TO ONLY TYPE IN CAPITAL LETTERS! I HAVE NO CONTROLR IGHT NOW!) BUT WHEN WE BROUGHT IT UP THEY SAID THAT WE COULD BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A GOOD CULTURAL EXPERIENCE SINCE IT IS IN THE COLOSSEUM! SO AFTER OUR MATCHES that night (okay it went back to normal) we all took showers and goto ready to go> Allie and I drew lightning bolt shaped scars on almost everyones forheads and then we went outside and broke sticks off of the trees so that we could have wands> then at nine pm we got into some cars thaT hava and brock borrowed and drove to the end of one of thE market streets> we walked down the street and shopped and took pictures and ate pizza> as we were waiting for pizza tWo canadian teenagers were walkingg by and staring at us> Emily was the first to break the awkward silence by exclaiming "hello!" They replied with "Englissh?" and then we started talking to them> Their names were Brady and Marco (POLO!) and they ended up sneaking into the colosseum to see the movie> After pizza we finished the walk to the colosseum and got in line> None of us have probably ever inhaled more secondhand smoke than on this trip! The line took a while to get through but we stuck together by holding hands and linking arms and we passed the time by singing songs and talking to Marco and Brady> they didnt have cool Canadian accents though :( finally we made it into the colosseum> It was already really crowded and we had to split our team in half so thaT we could find seats> Emily and i (it is brittany who is typing this btw) really had to pee so we went into the line while taylor saved our seats> The line probably had like thirty people in it but there were only two stalls and surprisingly the mens line had just as many but we made friends with some girls from germany> we had to watch the firist couple of minutes of the movie from the bathroom line> The movie was incredible though and Allie definitely shed some tears> I got the chills (not from thE cold) seveRal times> Some people didnt want to see the movie as much as some of us did though> Tall Maddie fell asleep within the first half hour and kayla and Little Maddie fell alseep cuddling in a blanket (so precious! I wish I could seen it!)> The weather was perfect for the movie! TheRe was lightning going off in the sky in the nearby cities but never did it come near us luckily> it was also peRfect becausE the wind would pick up at the really intense parts of the movie! When it was oveR we all met outside at a predeterned spot and started walking toward the main street where Hava and Brock were going to pick us up> Unfortunately as we werE walking Anjali slipped on the stony sidewalk and landed on heR tailbone> she was really sore the next day and was thEreforoE unable to play the next day :( By the time we it back to thE hotel and went to bed it was three AM!!!! We had to get up at seven to go to breakfast so that we could leave by eight and play by nine> Our first match was against OK Galeb (i believe that they are from montenegro) we lost in three and we played a little sluggishly> but we made up for lost sleep in between matches> for most of us we slept once we got to the hotel> we only woke up to go lunch but then we fell asleep again> it felt nice and by the next match we were more awake and ready to go> we played ncva (northern california) and beat them in three> this made us feel better because it gave us a chance to be in the finals of the Istra division> after the match we showered and got ready for dinner> we were extremely tired of the hotel food so we were treated to pizza by the ptaks as a special treat> it was really good and we were very satisfied after> we were still tired from the lack of sleep so most of us went straight to bed after doing our laundry for the next day of play> this whole trip has been such an incredible experience and we can"t believe that it is almost over! it is really cool to meet all of these foreign people and realize that though we live so far away from eachother we are still very much the same> it is also really cool to leave our mark in such an amazing place> a couple of us were asked to take pictures with girls from other countries and we saw two girls wearing some of taylors old mission viejo high school jerseys> anyway we are having a ton of fun! but we miss everyone a lot too!!
this is taylor and brittany signing out again!
