Greetings from Como!
 
Our team has finally arrived in Italy. After landing in Milan, we took a bus to Como and got to explore the city. Although the jet lag was kind of extreme after two days of travel, we were able to have a successful experience in Como filled with beautiful scenery, pizza, pasta and of course, gelato.
 
Also, today is GAME DAY. We had some time to rejuvenate and ate a pre-game meal at the hotel before heading to our first game. We played a Lithuanian team and got the Dub! It was very competitive and a great cultural experience.
 
After some great post-game pizza & singing in the bus, we are all tired and ready to visit the fashion capital of Milan tomorrow.
