Day 8

After a long 10 months, I could finally say I was home!! It felt really good to see my family and friends after being in New York City for the school year.

As it turned out, the trip from Split to Dubrovnik wasn’t all that bad (3 hours on the bus) and we couldn’t wait to see one of the most beautiful cities in Croatia. Dubrovnik is a port city on the Croatian coast of the Adriatic Sea. After a good night's sleep, everybody headed out to experience the beautiful and amazing Dubrovnik. This city used to be a Republic and something that makes Dubrovnik special is the castle in the center of the city.

After a long day at the beach, we played our most competitive game of the trip against Ragusa Dubrovnik. This team took us into overtime, but we rose to the occasion and remained undefeated in Europe. For me, this game was something very special because my family and friends came to see me play for the first time while being a member of the Long Island University Blackbirds. (Note: Masa has been at LIU for 3 years!)

Some people stayed after our game to watch the Ragusa men’s team play while others headed back to rest up at our 7 bedroom, 7 bathroom, 7 kitchen villa. We joke around that the villa we are staying in is like our own version of the Real World on MTV. Real World Dubrovnik, European style! Everyone found something to enjoy for the rest of the night, either sitting on our balcony and enjoying the beautiful sunset view or heading back into the city to have some fun.
