Day 1-2

Thursday, August 13, 2009

Day one was spent in transit, with minimal complications. In Paris we had a little bit of a hard time finding the next flight but everyone got through security and on the plane in time, when we got into Milan airport and baggage claim we found out that a couple of our bags had been left in Paris. Although it was frustrating to have to figure out the baggage situation we were fine. We found our guide Isabella a very nice italian woman from Rome and our driver Santo from Milan. We then made our way to. Como for lunch where coach reminded us not to eat too much of the three course meal because we were going on run once we checked into the hotel, so everyone tried but it was very hard because there was so much good food next to the lake. After we checked into the hotel and into our rooms we went on a run through the streets where we got a lot of stares from curious people. After our run we got back on the bus and headed to Switzerland for dinner and a match.
