Day 2: Barcelona Training Trip!
Welcome to Day 2 of our 2017 HAC / GCAC Barcelona Training Trip!
We're getting into the swing of things!
 |
| Getting ready for our first morning swim! These are the early birds! |
 |
| This is our shiny lobby, SO nice! |
 |
| This is our AWESOME dining room. So much food; some "interesting" selections, some 'inedible' but mostly delicious! The kids are expanding their culinary horizons, but pancakes won't ever be same without maple syrup. (Next time YOU ask if they have some -in English- and see the look you get!!!) The coffee here is also MUCH different from home, FYI! |
 |
| The pool is SO nice in the morning! Super bright and warm on deck, but not too hot! |
 |
| Smile for the camera, sans goggles. Sydney, Hannah, Caitlin and Ava having some fun!!!! |
 |
| Trust me, Emmett was as thrilled as he looks when he was told he 'has' to be in the photo LOL! |
 |
| Stretching after our workout, while some of us are in the gym spinning away! |
 |
| Out for a stroll along the Mediterranean before lunch! We're all used to the white sandy beaches, which we were expecting! Here, it's very granular like tiny pebbles but smooth... not many shells either, and sort of a workout to walk on. We were saying that we exfoliated our feet :) |
 |
| They have these neat cafe's along the beach, with a tent like top and glass windows, with table seating also on the outside of it. Very cool, would be a great spot for an espresso! |
 |
| The water is C-H-I-L-L-Y but we are going to do a polar bear swim one of these days :) |
 |
| It was so bright and sunny, the sign in the back reads Calella if you can't read it :) |
 |
| There's this circular building behind the pool that hides the sun TOO early like a premature sunset. Grrrr- You should see the Russian National Team coaches that have been here for 4 weeks: shorts in the AM and parkas and jeans in the PM! |
 |
| Carmen, Susie on deck with Doris taking some pictures during our afternoon swim, our first double! |
 |
| Check out our dinner spread.... |
 |
| ... fruits and desserts... |
 |
| ... hot foods and salad... please remind me to WORK OUT while I'm here too :) |
 |
| Ogradychowingdowntime and Avacado are the last ones to finish up... as usual :) |
 |
| Every night we get together to review the day as a team, just us! (Ugh, why so blurry?!?!?) |
