VA ODP Day 8 and 9: Au Revior

"Traveling - It leaves you speechless, then you turn into a story teller." Ibn Battuta

By now, those who have represented Virginia Youth Soccer Association, clubs in VA/DC, their soccer coaches and their families, have shared a laugh or three about their adventures. Our last 2 days in France was at a slower pace with some sight seeing, goodbyes and what now seems like a short trip across the Atlantic. Best wishes to our hosts, a shout out to Sam, Yassen and Pierre.

Our girl's squads spent Day 8 in downtown Bordeaux exploring the history, the shops and of course... a quest for macarons. The boys went to one of our host restaurants to partake in the local food (the girls did this upon arrival in Bordeaux a few days back.) Then, all 4 teams hopped onto their buses for the 7 hour ride back to Paris. Being on the girl's bus, no one escaped ODP Idol. Even coaches and administrators had to partake!  The fear of being "up-front" was eventually overtaken by the support of everyone singing. Highlight, has to be Coach Ann and her rendition of "Sweet ODP." The boy's bus, also had ODP Idol with challenges dropped between the teams and their players.

A relatively early start on Day 9, back to VA! Great welcome site of our families greeting players and we know that many of those who made the trip, want to return.

Till we see you again... "Bon match!"
