DAYS 16, 17
The last 2 days have been pretty much the same. Practice in the morning, mellowing out in the afternoon/evening. Practice has been kind of tough because I've been winded from being sick, but I've tried to just have a positive attitude and not stress. Enjoy the opportunity to fence with people I usually only get to compete against. Today Maya and I did some drills too and I did a lot of footwork. Hopefully more drills tomorrow.
Yesterday we hung out with Maya's friend Rita and got dinner together and saw her fancy apartment.
Today i finally got to take my afternoon nap after all these early mornings. It was funny, Catherine, Maya and I napped at the same time. Oh did I mention that Catherine a Canadian fencer is rooming with us? Its nice to get to know someone more after saying hi to her for years at tournaments!
Its been rainy so we couldnt even walk around the last 2 days. I wanted to walk up to the basilica. No dice. We drank coffees under an awning after our naps, went grocery shopping, and then went to see the movie Paris Je t'Aime. It was 16 short films by all different directors set in different Paris neighborhoods. Of course the Coen Brothers one was the best.
