Sanel is the name of my volleyball team here in Sevilla. We practice every Monday and Thursday night, and then play games on the weekends. It's been an incredible experience for me, as I've met a bunch of new people, get to practice Spanish, and experience sports in another country! The girls on my team range anywhere from 18 to 30 years old, and all of them (besides me, of course) are Spanish. We practice at a Salesian school here in Sevilla, which ironically reminds me vaguely of my own grade school. I do have to admit that one of my favorite traditions revolving around volleyball occurs after practice every Thursday night. I go with about 3 of my teammates to Tribuna, our favorite neighborhood bar, for tapas, a drink or two, and a few hours of great conversation on the patio. It's something I look forward to every week. :) Anyway, here are some pictures of a game on our home court, as well as a tournament in Cadiz.
