On the road again...

Two weeks after playing in Vancouver, Kacie and I made our way up to Kelowna for the Centre of Gravity tournament. This is a festival that happens every year for a whole bunch of different sports including wakeboarding, jetskiing, dirtbiking, bmx and of course, beach volleyball. My parents and Austin came for the weekend to cheer us on (even after suffering some injuries and illnesses during the trip!).

We ended up having a pretty good tournament, coming in 3rd place. We lost to the tournament champs (Heather and Liz) in the semifinals and beat our former partners (Asya and Rebecca) for the bronze.

After getting back home we had less than three days in Toronto to do laundry and pack for the next 3 weeks! Now we’re in Kristiansand, Norway and it’s absolutely beautiful!! The weather is cool (about 20C) and slightly cloudy, but it’s a nice break from the muggy Toronto heat.

The only thing not so nice about Norway is how expensive everything is!! Walking through the streets, we checked out some of the menus of local restaurants: the average meal was about $40 CAD. A club sandwich was $30!! We’re going to have to start getting creative with our meals here….
