We left the hotel and headed north to sightsee the town of Girona. Girona is a walled city that dates back many many years. I believe that one of the cathedrals dated from the 1200′s. We wandered the narrow streets of the old city. Some managed to get to the top of one of the watch towers that were on the wall surrounding the city and were rewarded with a fantastic view of the city. We had a picnic lunch on the streets before hopping on the bus to L’Estartit.
L’Estartit is a seaside resort town with a beautiful beach. We all went for a very refreshing swim. At 4:00 we went for a boat ride on a glass bottom boat. We headed out to sea and cruised out to the Medes islands. The water was incredibly clear and we saw lots of fish. After cruising around the islands for a for a while we moored the boat near one of the islands and dove swam around. We got everybody onboard and headed to shore. From there we loaded onto the bus and headed to our hotel.
After dinner we went to watch the World Cup match between Spain and Germany on a huge screen that they had set up down by the beach. Spain scored and the whole place went nuts. Almost everybody was wearing Spain’s uniform and flying the flag. After the game, cars were zipping down the road with flags flying out the window, horns blowing, etc. Back to the hotel to hang out before going night-night.
Tomorrow we play at 4:00 & 6:00. Boys are all looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow and relaxing at the beach before we head to the games.
