"The first night in a foreign place is always a little strange for me because I usually wake up in the middle of the night a kind of disoriented (as I did this morning around 4:30 a.m.)! We had breakfast at 9:30 a.m. and then walked across the street from our hotel to get some snacks at " Jumbo", Chile's version of Target. At 3:15 p.m., we had a scrimmage vs. Russia. Our offensive execution was pretty good. Defensively, we had a tough time guarding penetration and fouled way too much. We ended up winning 95-56, but we still have work to do:)!"
