Day 1: See You Later USA - Raegan Watts


Airplane dinner	Dinner at rooftop	Snacks at rooftop	Sunset, finishing the night

First day in Greece!! 🇬🇷✈️ It was definitely a long travel day to get here, consisting of two flights (about 8 hours and 2.5 hours) along with a few lengthy bus rides on top of that. After what felt like a full day of traveling (it was), we finally arrived and were all excited to start exploring.
After departing the airport, we walked around the town for a bit to stretch our legs and take in our first sights of Greece. Even though we were tired from the travel, it was really cool to start seeing the city, the architecture, and just getting a feel for the atmosphere.
Eventually we made our way to the hotel and got checked in. One of the best parts of the night was heading up to a rooftop restaurant where we were able to relax, share some snacks, and take in the beautiful view overlooking the city. As time passed and the sun began to set, the view somehow got even better. Watching the sunset from the rooftop with some of my teammates was the perfect way to end our first day here.
We’re excited for everything that’s ahead and can’t wait to experience more of Greece together! 🇬🇷🏐

Day 2: 3 Islands Boat Ride - Shelby Sennett and Carly Whitaker

Today we went on a boat ride to three different islands where we were able to walk around, shop, get gelato, and see different parts of the islands. A lot of us ended up riding on donkeys on the first island, and on the second island we all went shopping. At the third island, a lot of us did a guided tour around the island while the rest walked around. On the way back there was a show/performance put on by some of the employees where they showed us some Greek dance moves and performances. Then they invited a lot of our team up with them to dance and to teach us how to dance like them. When the performance was over the whole team got up and started dancing to Cotton Eye Joe. Then we went back to the hotel for dinner where we had pasta, salad, and chicken.

Day 3: Athens - Cailin Shannon and Sophia Feeney

Today the team had lots of free time to explore Athens! We started the morning with breakfast and then took the bus to the city center. Lots of shopping and sight seeing. Some of the team ate local food and had a taste of Greece! After a few hours of walking around, we drove an hour and a half to Cape Sounion. We got to tour the Temple of Poseidon! We learned some history, and took in the beautiful views of the temple and the water with the sunset. After that, we headed back to the hotel for dinner and sleep as we prepare for our first game tomorrow!

Day 3: Athens City Tour & Match #1- Hailey Rak and Vanessa Stasieluk
