Italy Through the Eyes of Captain Allison Humphries

Our trip to Italy has far exceeded my expectations. I came into this experience with enthusiasm and anticipation, but never expected to have such an amazing time. The scenery still seems surreal even after six days of sightseeing. We have been so fortunate to visit incredible places including Saint Mark's Square in Venice and the town of Pisa, famous for its leaning tower. Time has flown by, but I am truly looking forward to the last few days of our trip.

This has been a great bonding experience for us as a team. We have grown closer on and off the field as a result of our time together building relationships, learning about Italian culture and playing against local women's club teams. The welcoming atmosphere provided by our host teams has allowed for two fun and competitive games. We are all looking forward to playing our final game on Saturday.

I know that the conclusion of our journey to Italy is inevitable but we will always remember our time here and carry on the memories we have made through crazy stories and about a million pictures on Facebook.
