Our Boy In Buenos Aires
CW's, Jake Ilnicki brings a Bear's report from B.A.
Hola friends, I would like to start off by saying "thank you" to everyone that made this trip possible.
Day 1- The Island boys headed to Van on the 8:00 ferry. Once in Van we took a limo to the airport....our first flight was to Toronto. The flight was great, Air Canada treated all of us great. Our second flight was from Toronto to Chile...11hrs...long trip but it wasn't to bad.. Then Chile to Argentina was a couple hours.
Once in Argentina checked in at our hotel, Crystal Palace...they have been great to us and lots of help..later all the boys were out watching the World Cup game at pizza places and little shops..some boys went downtown...it's a little sad they lost but the atmosphere was sweet, people cheering, singing, passing beers around lots of fun.
Day 2 - Started with 8am breakfast before a 10:30am bus to training, we had training at Centro Naval. The pitch was a little wet but it didn't stop us from having a good session. After training we were out for a team lunch and to look around the city.
Tomorrow we have our last training session before we place a very strong B.A. team.
I'll send more after the game...thank you all again. Night! and...buenos noches to you, Jake!
