Good Times

OK, so Friday, we had a home game against a team called Somby/Skövde. We started the match strong and played well. We beat them 33-26.

On Saturday, some of my teammates and I went to a shopping center called Torp, which is right outside of Uddevalla--kind of like the American version of a mall. That night, we also had our team party for the season. It was a great time with the team, just socializing and joking around. I even learned some Swedish, like "skål" (pronounced "skoal"), which means "cheers!" Everyone on the team has been really great in making me feel welcome. It makes it a lot easier getting used to a new country. Here are some pictures from the party.
