Thursday at grunhold, germany - a little rain today, no problem with our shopping at town this morning.  kids bought a lot of ice cream and some soccer gear.  small freindly town that survived the war intact.  very friendly and very helpful.  after lunch an afternoon session followed by keeper wars and shooting, another great dinner, each meal has been fantastic and i fear the kids will expect these meals at each location. after dinner a combination staff, kids, and german coaches in a hackfest in the rain, a good 8 v 8 game that seemed to go on for ever. kids are packing tonight as we prepare to transfer to hamburg.  but first we have our first game, the girls versus a german team tomorrow morning at 9 am, i will update with the result, kids are working hard and are dead, they need some rest and our bus transfer should provide it.  talk to you later
