First Day in Spain

Hola! My name is Emma Nelson and I am from Gilbert, Iowa. I am a rising sophomore for the women's soccer team. Sunday was our first day in Spain. After a long day of traveling we arrived in Barcelona! Our tour guides met us at the airport and we got to settle in to the hotel we will be staying at. We were all exhausted from the flights but the idea of playing soccer gave us the energy to have a great first practice. See picture! For dinner we ate at a seafood buffet that had some new and exciting food for us to try. The baby squid was even eaten by the brave ones! After dinner we headed back to the hotel to catch up on sleep for our busy day tomorrow. We will start again at 7:30 to go to our second practice with a professional clinician from La Liga.
