Studying boy and Ulti in Madrid

My UWA eMail server is down right now, which kinda sucks. Last few days have been pretty quiet. Unlike Granada, Seville has grass to lie on, so I’ve been hitting it pretty hard when the weather played along. Mainly just studying spanish and not going out much. Pretty dull for a Blog.

Sunday found where the Seville crew play Ultimate and had a bit of a training and game. Not being able to communicate in spanish is big motivation for study. A typically international fun Ulti group - they’re gonna do some serious clogging when they play 7vs7 hehe. A Beer in the park afterwards (spanish people questioning why one person would drink the biggest glass himself… I’d guess it was maybe 0,6L - they should see a Beergarden where everyone drinks by the litre) and then back to Stephane’s amazing terrace looking over the river at Seville. Probably the best possible view here. Wow.

This weekend its up to Madrid for … whatever this tournament is called. I’ve been thinking of it as Spanish nationals, but Portugal come too, so maybe the “Iberian Championships”. Whatever, its gonna be fun and I’ll definitely come back having learnt some more casual spanish and having seen and surprised the odd familiar face. I’m considering whether to stay up that way a while or come straight back with the Sevillanas. This will be the first time I’ve pulled my cleats on since German nationals last year (July?), so I’m definitely gonna hurt afterwards. Granada Tapas are seeded last (14th), so too high expectations will not be a problem.
