Menorca! 1/17/11

Okay, soooo I was supposed to leave for Menorca on Tuesday, Jan 11th, but the weather on the east coast was so bad all my flights were delayed and were going to be for a few days. I decided to just leave a few days later when I knew that the storms and snow were done and wont risk getting stuck anywhere.  I left thursday morning and flew to NY/Newark and from there to Madrid. I landed in Madrid on Friday morning and met the team there because they were coming from Menorca to play Haro, which is about 3 hours away from Madrid. We ate lunch at the airport and headed out. The coaches and team were all really nice when I first met them. I slept most of the way to Haro because I had not slept much the night before on the plane and was exhausted. We played Haro the next day and lost in 3 but the scores were 24-26, 24-26, 21-25. It was a close match and I played for a few points but was really nervous and didn't know the teams system as well as I would have liked but there was nothing I could do.  Our coach wasnt mad really because we didnt play bad and we also had a girl that has been injured for 4 months come back for this game too. We left the next morning for Menorca, and got home around 9. We had a little adventure with the Menorcan Police because they had to go through my luggage by hand. Awkward! But they let me go and we took the bus back. I got home around 10 and unpacked my stuff and got settled. Here are some pics :)

This is my loooovely twin bed. It is actually pretty comfortable. (well at least the first night) Notice the bed underneath it. It pulls out! Who wants to come visit?!?!?! :) 

This is the other part of my room. Everything was basically already in there....

This is leaving my room. My roomie Helia's room is to the right and this is the bathroom.....

This is the living room. Nice big TV with cable that has some english!! yay!

Kitchen

These stairs go upstairs to laundry room and balcony

Washer on the left, dryer on the right...

Balcony

View  of the downstairs from upstairs. Yes that is a bed in the living room because Helia has a 3 ft braces on her leg and it was easier for her to just be in there than have to move around so much.

Left to right: stairs, tv, hall that leads to bed room, hall that leads to another bed room, kitchen, front door
