Caissa(again)

I know I have already a lots of posts about vanas and caissa, but why not have one more? SO this past caissa which was as of today about 2 weeks ago and it was in Quito, Ecuador. First I'm going to talk a bit about Quito then I'm going to actually talk about the actual tournament. So Quito was like any other city I have been to on the other caissa trips its; run down, ghetto, not the best looking city and all that stuff. I wouldn't really recommend going to Ecuador, well that not true I don;t know enough about the rest of Ecuador, but I do not recommend going to Quito. The weather in Quito is very "bipolar" as we called it. The on Saturday when we got there it was chilly and crisp and you could feel the nice warm heat of the sun on you. Later on in the afternoon as we were having our last game of the day there was a huge thunder and lightning storm and it HAILED!!! which was really exciting. On Sunday at the school is was pretty cold in the morning and later on in the day we went to a hot springs and we were all dying of the heat it was so hot. Finally on Monday it was so hot and we were out watching our boys play and after the game everyone on the girls and boys team was completely burned! Like I said the weather there was very "bipolar".

In the tournament we did pretty well, we ended up getting second place which is still good, but it's not first place :( If we had won it would have been our fourth consecutive win, but oh well. The cool thing was is that over all out of all the teams we were the highest scoring team in the tournament, which is really good! We beat  CMS and ISPS in every game by at least a 20 point difference. The only team we lost to was AC in the round robin game and in the final. Our boys came in fourth. They played for second and third place and the game was very close, it had to go into penalties and they lost by one shot. They went into the 3rd and 4th place game against AC(the best team, the tragically lost it against the worst team ISPS), so they weren't to lucky to have to play against the best team and they lost and got 4th. So far every caissa the boys have come in last except basketball because CMS forfeited. But us girls have done pretty good this year!
