Instead of weight belts, the Croats use a tire to help hold them down while working their legs. Do you think Del Pozzo Tire would donate tires for the boys?
Dear Parents: It is another beautiful, warm to hot day here on the Adriatic. I hope you have been enjoying the blog--Evelyn has been putting lots of time into writing entries and posting photographs. The boys are doing really well, by and large. Those with illnesses seem on the mend, but the upper respiratory crud seems to be circulating around the group. The parents, as you can imagine, are not immune and Dave and I are feeling a bit off around the throat/upper lungs.
The boys just finished a long scrimmage against a local team. After an hour of Walsh reffing, he was concerned that one of our boys might get hurt. One broken nose in the group is enough, don't you think? The local boys were very physical. There was lots of hold-downs, knees in the back, underwater kidney punches, etc., but the boys' main reaction was to laugh about it after they got out of the pool. One of them even asked Walsh if they could scrimmage these guys every day for the rest of their time here. The boys scored more goals even though we aren't really counting goals (well, Dave is, of course).
