Everyone arrived safe and sound and quickly began making friends.
After dinner we watched the USA battle Brazil in a hotly contested match, only to see the boys in red, white and blue lose a heartbreaker in their first appearance in a FIFA final.
Monday morning we arrived at the Camp Nou facilities, home to FC Barcelona and promptly began a lively training session directed by the FCB training staff.
After eating lunch at the ice hockey arena cafe, the players were given a brief tour of the Nou Camp grounds.
Upon completion of the first day's training we toured Parc Guell, a Barcelona landmark, created by Gaudi. We toured the park in wonderment of its grand design and architecture, simply stunning.
Everyone is looking forward to a good night's rest after our eventful day.
"It was unbelievable walking and training on the same fields as our Barcelona idols. And the strawberry slushie wasn't bad either!" -Hannah Kwang, Houston, Texas
