The SaWUSA Women’s Lacrosse trip is off to a great start. The team met Coach Frank Rogers in Boston on Sunday and headed to Lisbon, Portugal via Munich, Germany.
Upon landing in Lisbon they met our tour guide, Pedro and headed south via bus to Southern Portugal/Spain. They are staying at an awesome Golf and Sports resort in The Algarve, Portugal’s southernmost region, known for its Atlantic beaches and golf resorts.
Tuesday they had a guided city tour of Seville, Spain. Seville is the capital of southern Spain’s Andalusia region. It’s famous for flamenco dancing, particularly in its Triana neighborhood. Major landmarks include the ornate Alcázar castle complex, built during the Moorish Almohad dynasty, and the 18th-century Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza bullring. The Gothic Seville Cathedral is the site of Christopher Columbus’s tomb and a minaret turned bell tower, the Giralda.
At night they enjoyed some beach time and a team dinner.
Tomorrow the team will have it’s first lacrosse practice and also zip-line from Spain to Portugal. It should be a cool way to transfer between countries.
Please stay tuned to our social media pages for trip updates. Stay tuned!
