Feb 22nd – Beach Volleyball Day!

Today was an awesome beach volleyball day! The tournament was 5-on-5 (usually beach is 2-on-2) and catered to all levels of playing. It was sponsored by Aperol and Cafe Caprice, and there were free drinks, loads of free stuff (I got two different hats, sunglasses, a towel, and a lei), and even FREE SUSHI. There were also couches, shade structures set up, and music.

Our team consisted of some UCT girls and guys and one really good guy from Namibia. The UCT coach, Leo, was there too helping out and we made it to the quarterfinals. The level of play was pretty low since there were lots of newcomers, but I was happy getting some beach playing and making some new friends.

This evening, our program had a pizza dinner organized by Dean, but only Mike came. It was nice having some yummy thin crust pizza (all pizza here is thin crust) and catching up with Mike.
