Buenos Dias Canada,
Were back; this time with Kri and Angela. This morning we played our first exhibition game against Venezuela.

After the game, while waiting for the bus, we got to enjoy a pick-up game played by our coaches with several locals (QB was a crowd favorite, and took pictures and signed autographs after the game)…
