International Trade

Haley, Julie, and Yarden woke up early to eat a good breakfast before their matches. Julie and Yarden pulled off easy wins in 3 games while Haley ended up losing in 5 in a very tough battle to a French girl. After all the morning matches the team made its way to the Taj Connemara hotel for a delicious lunch and a nice swim in the hotel pool. While some girls went back to the hotel to relax, Haley made her way to the courts to watch the quarterfinals. En route, she witnessed the first real accident of the roads. The shuttle that Haley was in crashed into a motorcycle, knocking the rider off and crushing the bike. After the man stood up and the bike was moved, the shuttle just kept driving! Astonished, Haley made it to the courts to tell everyone, and of course cheer Yarden and Julie through their second victory of the day. After a long day at the courts, all the girls met up with the boys team for a big team dinner at the hotel restaurant. Then Lexi, Natasha, and Libby turned into shirt trading animals knocking from door to door in the hotel asking if other players wanted to trade shirts for their USA gear. Lexi ended up getting a Germany, England, and France shirt and Amanda got a Mexico shirt.
