Oh yeah, one more notable thing happened during Meg’s stay. I played in a beach volleyball tournament with three friends of mine. Now, when Robert said that the tourney was Saturday and Sunday, I figured, “Great! Two days of volleyball.” We arrived and Robert started setting up a tent on the beach in the designated “tournament tent area”. I thought, “That’s odd”. “Robert, why is everyone setting up tents for a volleyball tournament?” “Because it’s a two day tournament. So we’re camping.” “No, really. Why are you setting up that tent?” He then pointed to a sign that said “24 horas de volley playa”. Not only was the tourney for two days, it was two days straight without stopping! We started playing at noon on Saturday and had games all day, ALL NIGHT, and all the next day until noon on Sunday! We did very well considering. Out of over one hundred people, we made it all the way to the semi-finals and finally lost to the Catalunyan National Men’s Team (a very close game) taking sixth place overall and receiving medals. We were all pretty dead at the end of the day(s) and so we went home and took a much needed siesta. Sorry Meg.
