Basketball in Civitavecchia











Today I opted not to go on tour (i'm exhausted) and to spend the day with Kellon who's claiming I care more about old buildings then I do spending time with him ha ha ha. So to prove what a cool chick I am I went to watch him and a bunch of guys play basketball. The port agent had booked a very nice basketball court, indoor facility for the guys to play at for a few hours. A team from the Emerald Princess was supposed to come and play against us, but they chickened out:)

It was a cool day, Kellon enjoyed himself so much and the owner of the place had two boys there playing so Kell took some time to play with them and give them a few pointers. When we were leaving another owner showed up, he spoke english, and asked if our guys would want to play a local team when we get back to Civi in 2 weeks. The guys are pumped and the team has begun practicing. So all in all...I had a good time today, Kellon had the time of his life. Especially playing with the kids, trying to communicate as they don't know any english and he doesn't speak Italian, lots of sign language and motioning, they got a game going.
