After Day Two

On day one, I got a 3rd for point sparring. I fought against a U.S girl and beat her!!! Then I had to fight an Irish girl and I lost by 2 points. But still got a third. Then today I got a fourth in my extreme kata and going on to finals on Tuesday!!! I have continuous sparring tomorrow! A lot of people have been getting hurt and bloody noses. I hope that doesn't happen to me!!! Can't wait to get back and see everybody!!


P.S Raegan And Alexis I have kissed the left K and W!! It is really good luck!!!!!!!

Mistake

We were mistaken and Emily's first fight doesn't begin until tomorrow morning at 11:00 am Portugal time (subtract 5 hours for Ontario time).  Will let you know how it goes!  Having troubles getting pics uploaded - technology never seems to work when you want it to!  Anyway, we will keep you posted and if you're a Facebook friend we'll post there as well!

Were Here!

Hi everybody, just got to are hotel! It is amazing. When we got to the competition we got our passport for the tournament.and then weighed in. When you weigh in at Nationals that is your weight so at  worlds you have to weigh in at the same division. I made my division which is good otherwise I would not be able to fight.  A few people didn't make their division so they were running up and down the street with sweat suits on trying to loose their weight. We had a team meeting just to pump us up!!! I have also been practicing like crazy! Competition starts tomorrow and the opening ceramony is at nine am.   I have my first division at 11 am.  Keep you updated!

Small Town

Hi,  last night we got into a small town that is not bussy at all we love it. when we woke up we had breakfast and went for a walk down to the beach. The beach is the best part! today we went through a little tunnel and it brought us to a shipreck that only looked like it would be in a movie. Then we spent some time down there than headed up to the room to get are bathing suits on and get a tan! The pool here is so warm it is like a hot tub. Now we are heading out for supper talk to you soon.


p.s compotition starts on Thursday and mm mom did share some of her chocolates.

Emily.
