It has been raining here ALL day today. I slept in, then had practice at 2:00 p.m. This morning I was able to catch a message from Thomas Road Church which was great! I loved listening to the worship music for sure!!!
It took us over an hour to get to the gym and then about 40 minutes to get back from the gym because of the traffic. Istanbul equals traffic in my book haha. I came home from practice, then went with a teammate to get some dinner. We welcomed a new girl from England, so it was awesome to meet her and hang out with her. We chatted for awhile over dinner and then came back and relaxed for a little bit before heading out to watch the USA vs. China Women's Basketball game. The World Championships are being held in Turkey this year, so it is neat to be able to catch some of the games. I may try to watch the USA play again tomorrow. China stuck with them in the first half, but then the USA team pulled away.
After the game my teammate and I got drenched in water because of the rain. For some reason there weren't any taxis around the gym and of course the rain was coming down in sheets while we walked and finally we were able to flag down a taxi. It was so nice to come home and change out of my soaked clothes.
Had a first great day of practice! I can tell my body is tired, but I will keep gaining strength as the days go on and finally get over jet lag.
I hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend! Tomorrow we have practice in the afternoon!
God bless,
Megan
