St. Petersburg, Russia

We are in Russia. It is about 14 deg outside and we play at 2pm. Long story short, we won our first game and lost our second yesterday in the qualifier. We did, however, get lucky and manage to find a spot in the Main Draw because of the lucky losers process. So we play Turner and Wacholder at 2pm. It has been an interesting trip to say the least. First, it took a good long flight and train to get here. Then, we had no hotel to stay in, and our luggage was lost for 2 days.......yes, we had to borrow suits from another team and buy cold weather gear. And, we slept in the same thing for 2 nights. Kinda gross.
Well, another thing to mention is that Steve, Heidi's fiance, posted a fundable. com link for us. Please feel no obligation to donate, but we have been traveling most of this season with a very small budget(from some generous friends). Our Philippines volleyball federation has helped in no way monetarily. We have 2 more events this season and about 8 more next season before Beijing. So, if you feel that you can help, wonderful. Otherwise your prayers would be more than sufficient:)

Thank to all of you that support our dream.
