January 7, 2005

Some of us we started the day off with a nice jog by the beach, taking in the sound of the waves and the smell of the sea. Following another delicious breakfast we hit the courts for our first practice as a reunited team.

The practice went great, especially considering the recent holiday break and lack of tennis time. We were ready for our match against local juniors the following day!

After picking up the last ball, we headed to the world-famous Kirstenbirsh gardens for an afternoon of botany. I've never seen so many delightful varieties of hedges!

Finally to end this busy day, we went to the Waterfront for a fabulous Italian dinner and briefly took in the ambiance of the popular night spot.

With the past two days going so well, we can only look forward to the rest of our travels!

Jolyn Taylor is a junior from Ft. Walton Beach, Fla.
