Well, after and interesting talking to this past week, the Americans are ready for a showdown of the number one team in the league today.  There really isn't much to say about the talk except that we aren't performing to our best ability and therefor they think something is wrong and well, let's just say it was an unnecessary conversation.  But like I said we came out ready to give it to them.  

This week has been an incredibly short week, we got our car on Monday night and got our gym membership on tuesday so we started working out, so we are all a little sore.  Then the parents came yesterday!!!  Me and one of my roomates drove from here to Milan which is about a 4 hour drive each way, so last night I was a little tired because I had to drive the whole way!  

I am looking forward to the festivities tomorrow, which if you haven't noticed is my birthday:)  I think we are going to kind of lay low during the day and head down to the beach then hit a good restaurant for dinner and then head out on the town for some good fun that will be had by all.  The parents are heading to Roma for a couple of days for tuesday-thursday I think, which should be good fun for them.  Can't believe that they are here, and actually I don't know if they are really in belief that they are here either, but they should have some good fun.

Well, I will send the update on the weekend soon.  I love you all,
