Day Four in Athens

Well, things are just ducky here....NOW.

The boys had a great practice again today, although the jet lag is still making them a little fuzzy. We've had to order some egg crate foam mattresses for some of the players. These quads just can't sleep on concrete, which seems to be the bedding of choice for these Paralympic organizers.

The Canadian Flag Raising Ceremony was yesterday and there was a great team turnout for the festivities. I just finished up my work for the day and am heading back to the residence, where the boys will have already started their festivities for the evening... POKER!

Eron Main is working very hard as the rugby technical delegate, while at the same time, supporting the families of the players by confirming accommodation, inspecting the accommodation and even arranging for transportation for the families, if at all possible.

Heiko from Germany and our Coach Joe have coordinated a scrimmage game on Wednesday, September 15th, and it looks like we're going to be scrimmaging with Japan later in the week.

More tomorrow from Athens!
