I found a club soccer team to play with while we're here! We practice Mon/Wed and have games on Sundays. Today was our second game (quite a bit better than the first one) : we won 4-3 and I scored a goal! Yea! Soccer here is much more laid back. The levels ( premier, C1, C2, etc) are are not set by age. For the whole area there are several clubs that have teams in the various levels but not at different ages, only different levels. They would not have enough girls to field a team at any single age. The playing level is a bit less competitive seeing as they obviously have a smaller base of girls to draw from than we do in the Twin Cities, but it is still lots of fun!

Kiara! Did you get new shoesies that don't hurt your footies? I heard that the ones your mom sent were killing your feet (though not her fault). It's great that you found a soccer club; Caleb plays in one too, right? are the others students at Otago also?
We finally got rid of our snow here, but aren't guaranteed there won't be more b/4 June.
Have you got two months of school in now? When is the semester over?
Checking on you guys is an important and fun part of every day for me. Lots of love, Gram B.
