springtime

finally..! sun and warm weather... wearing sandals and even a skirt one day. and this weekend playing ultimate here in GRANADA!! We hosted the first ever (hat) tournament in Granada, which tourned out to be a great success--people came from all over Spain, some from England, some from Germany, some from Italy. We made up teams mixing up experienced players with those who had never played before, and everyone got a t-shirt with their new team name. (theme: tapas!)
I was worried about it being hectic/crazy and not working out well (our "organizational" meeting on Tuesday was an absolute disaster...haha), but in the end it was a lot of fun, and the weather was great. People loved the tournament and of course being in Granada (especially the English...they were flipping out looking at the snow-covered mountains while playing in 75+ degree weather and plastering themselves with sunblock...hehe). Yay.


Hopefully the team here will pick up more force and maybe people will get excited enough to keep it going even next year when none of us "americans" are here, nor my friend Felipe who has gotten quite hooked on the sport and did most of the organization for the tournament...hope so!
