Today we had our last training session in Italy, the field we trained on was not very far away from our hotel, it was a kind of hybrid place there was a restaurant, soccer fields and indoor basketball courts. We had a good training session we were the only people in the complex so the manager gave us an extra half an hour to play. After our training session we showered at the hotel and then loaded the bus for Florance. The bus dropped us off near a square that had a lot of tents selling all sorts of stuff from team jerseys to jewlery, so naturly we ate and then went shopping I think people spent a lot of money in Florance. Before people could spent too much money we had to meet out tour guide who took us on a very interesting tour of the city, ending up at the church of the holy cross, where we had more time to do what else shop. We only had about an hour to shop though because we had to leave to see Fiorentina play a friendly, the game was in a small staduim but it seemed like the whole town had turned out to see the match. It was a very interesting atmisphere because it was such a small venue with such a large name. After Fiorentina won one nothing we drove back to the hotel and had dinner, the town we were staying in didn't really have a lot going on at night and everyone seemed pretty tired so a lot people just hung out in the hotel.Labels: Florance
