Apartment Pictures & Game 3

Hello everyone. Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have been busy moping in my own sorrow so I haven't had any time to post anything. Ha, I am just kidding. I am doing fine, but we did suffer yet another loss. This league is very competitive...especially on road games. We had an away game this past Sunday and we fought hard. We did some good things and looked more like a team, but it wasn't enough as we ended up losing by 15 points or something like that. We played tough and it even seemed like we played a good game, but we did not shoot the ball very well. The other team also shot 15 more free throws than we did. I ended the game with 10 points and 8 rebounds. I was happy with the way I rebounded, but I wasn't hitting my open jumpers. This coming Sunday we play at home and it is a must-win game for us. We need to get a win to get things going.

So, as far as basketball goes, we are having a tough start but it should turn around for us. I am just going to keep working hard and hopefully we start getting some wins. I decided to take some pictures of my apartment and car and stuff so you would get a better feel for how I am living over here. The first one on the left is my car. The next one is my apartment building. I live on the third floor in the middle. The third photo on the right is the view from one of my balconies in my apartment. As you can see there is a small park next to where I live. There are a lot of families and children playing at the park so it can get a bit noisy at times with the kids playing, but I don't mind....usually :) This last photo I thought I would add just for fun. It is kind of hard to see what it says, but the gas here right now is Euro 1.273...per liter! After some crude math that calculates out to about $7.12 per gallon! Ouch. The diesel is a bit cheaper, which is a good thing for me considering I drive a diesel. Yes, my car is a diesel. I thought that was a bit unusual to have a car running on diesel fuel. So for me it is about $6 per gallon.

Well, I have to go to another practice. Talk to you soon.

P.S. Remember to appreciate the people in your life who you are close to. Do not take what you have for granted. Ciao!
