Hello all-- a post from some of the volleyball players in my van today-- the charge was led by Kaylie Clark with help from Megan Theis, Jordan Olerud and Emily Irey-- among others.
Enjoy-
Coach B
As we’ve traveled through Boston, Massachusetts, Springfield, Massachusetts, passed through Vermont, and climbed a mountain in New Hampshire, we’re now on day 3 of our “New England” trip. It’s been quite the experience! The Cougars have enjoyed shopping and site seeing in downtown Boston, climbing Mount Kearsarge, and of course, playing volleyball! And let’s not forget that some things just never go as planned. Yet, coach’s “funny” stories about his life in New Hampshire…well let’s just say are “unique”. Our travel from Morris to Boston involved a two and a half hour drive to Minneapolis, an hour flight to Milwaukee, Wisconsin…running to our gate to catch the next flight for Boston, and finally a safe landing in Boston, Massachusetts the home of the “Red Sox”...but not as good as those good ol’ Minnesota Twins! It seems as if these east coasters have quite the accent (welcome to BOUUSTOUNNN). Now, as for the hotels, Travelodge’s, are the way to go…but seriously it was definitely no five star hotel…it made our Super 8 look like a palace! Of course our chauffeurs (aka Coach Braegelmann and Anita) are better than any other travel guide around, especially on the round-about at 12:30 in the morning. As for volleyball, on Friday we lost to Springfield College and Daemon College, however, they were all close matches, and we have continued to improve. Today, (Saturday, September 04, 2010) we beat Rivier in 4 sets, and have two more matches on Sunday at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. We are headed to an Italian restaurant to wrap up the evening and have a fresh start for tomorrow. Keep cheering the Cougars on and we hope to have safe travels for the rest of our “New England” trip!! GO COUGARS!
