INTRO

BON JOUR!

Leaving the states can be bitter sweet. I'm always ready for the new adventures that life has in store for me, but sometimes it's hard to leave behind your love ones. I'm currently entering my third season of professional volleyball, and I thought the timing was right, to bring a few of my friends along on this journey. If you are a new friend, here is a little bit of info to help you get to know me better. I studied for 4 years at the best university in the world and played for the best coach in the world. Ok ok, I might be a little bias, but if I had the chance to do anything over, I would not change anything about my college experience. Ok, I wont continue to babble. I attended LOUISIANA  STATE UNIVERSITY and played four years under  FRAN FLORY 09 SEC Coach of The Year. My first year professional I played in Puerto Rico for the city of Toa Baja. The next season, I played in Vienna, Austria for a team called SVS POST. This season I'll be playing in Nantes, France. Which is not pronounced the way you just read it aloud, it actually pronounced like the AMERICAN word NOT, I would have never guessed that either, ah well! Welcome to my blog :)

Exploring Nantes!

Exploring is one of the best things to do while you are in Europe. Sunday our team was rewarded a day off, which is sometimes hard to come by when you are playing overseas. So you better believe, I took full advantage of our day off.  I headed to the town center  with two of my american teammates, Jenna and Kristy, to view the Botanical Gardens and the Cathedral. The Botanical Gardens was a beautiful place to visit. It was so peaceful. I can easily see myself on a park bench, with one of my favorite books or magazines, on a sunny afternoon. The cathedral was pretty standard, it had the normal  things a cathedral has in it like statues, organs, confessionals,  benches, and stain glass windows. It is really hard to be amazed by a Cathedral when you have seen the Vatican. Although it could never be the Vatican, I did think it had amazing stain glass windows and organ pipes.  After leaving the church we walked around the center for a little while but not for to long because every thing is normally closed on Sunday. We did happen find a little bakery where I bought my first chocolate filled croissant.
