Second game is another victory!

We spent the first half of today at a local flea market.  It's kind of like a giant yard sale that runs the length of several streets.  I bought some jewelry (You know I love jewelry!) and lots of cute scarves.  Everyone in Italy wears scarves around their necks! 
The second half of the day was our game, which we won 4-1 against Rome, followed by the opening ceremonies.  I will never know what it's like to be a part of the Olympics, but I would have to say this was about as close as I'll ever get!  They played our national anthem while the girls walked around a track waving American flags.  The crowd was chanting U.S.A, U.S.A., U.S.A...  Words just can't describe the pride we felt.
My time away is flying by.  I finally got a hot shower last night!  Please don't ever take for granted what we have in America.  Living conditions can always be worse, so be thankful for what you have.  I love you all more than you will ever know.  I will be back before you know it. 
Mrs. Allen
