Beach Soccer

While on the beach someone had the great idea of playing some soccer. We used a sand volleyball court that was on the beach, and made a couple goals from rocks and sticks. After a few minutes of playing we realized we were going to hurt tomorrow. There wasn't much sand on the court, so it hurt the feet pretty bad. I think in total 3 people got blisters (I was one of those), and unfortunately this cost the Americans the game. Good thing Americans don't care about soccer.

Here we are playing soccer.
A lot of the pictures look like this.


Get in position!


I just like this action shot.


There were thorns and such around the court, so getting the ball back was never fun.


The winners pose for the camera.
They only won by a couple points.


We weren't running around real fast.
That only looks like soft sand.


The Croatians somehow made a goal.
We all had a good time.


Phil makes it past the defender.
Quick, SHOOT!!


A dip in the sea cools you off nicely.


An injury sours an otherwise sweet victory. Luckily the house is just a few minutes away on foot.
