Amsterdam and First game

Today we took a day trip to Amsterdam with our team and two other GSA teams that are playing here. It was about a 2 hour bus ride and we got to know the other guys playing pretty well. Once there we were on our own to explore the city. The city had so many different shops and they were all so close together it was like they were on top of each other. I like how all the buildings look over here because they are so old and even though they are all together they are each just a little different. 
There are just of a few pictures of the different buildings in Amsterdam. 

After Amsterdam we headed back to the hotel to get ready for our first game against Okapi Aalst. In the beginning of the game you could tell this was our first time all playing together. We got down early and we behind at the end of the first quarter. Then in the second we start to gel more and closed the gap but we're still down a few points. After halftime we played very well and ended up being up almost 20 points at the end of the third quarter. Most of this could be contributed to us pushing the ball harder and playing amazing defense. In the fourth we closed out the game well and won 91-81. After the game we stayed and ate with the other team. We talked to them and learned more about their club and how the European league works. Once we had all ate and we're done talking we headed back to the hotel to rest up for the next day in the beautiful city of Bruges. 
This was a very cool gym to play in and sounded awesome when it was raining outside
This was us and the team we played after the game.
