Update on a Nice Cool Morning

Today I woke up(barely) at 6 am like normal and then quickly passed out.  Tom and I have established a system where if the other one hasnt opened their door by 6:15 the other one knocks. Luckily Tom woke me up and we headed to practice on one of the coldest mornings.  The mist/fog was very thick and yet the team wore less than they do when its 95 and sunny outside.  They really care about keeping their skin white.  Sorry about the lack of posting lately.  The last week has been more of the same 11 practices (we canceled saturday afternoon practice) and a lot of time spent at the library.  We did end up going to a sports banquet at the Vocational school where all the athletes are staying.  There was even a show with our dinner which featured some good local dancers. 

Today Bob arrives and CLI gets back into the full swing of things.  Most recently he was back in the states for the annual CLI board meeting.  Everything I have heard said it went well and it was actually held at my moms house in Arizona.  Made me miss home hearing about the updates.  I should hopefully have more substantial updates about CLI after Bob arrives here in LP later in the day.

For the team I have been talking with Carol who runs an NGO library here in LP.  Carol has helped us get real gym access so hopefully that will be happening this week.  She is also the one who set up the interview of the athletes for her yearly newsletter and the film students are part of a class there.  She is a great lady who has been living in LP for about 8 years now.

Life otherwise has been good the weather is starting to cool down, which is nice.  I should have more updates soon.
