Which means Happy Holiday. We are actually in the midst of a 4 day holiday in Turkey right now. The team had trouble explaining to us exactly what holiday it was, but supposedly thousands of years ago an important someone sacrificed a lot of lamb and that is what they celebrate today. The sacrifice signifies cleansing. Carmen went walking around today and happened to see someone sacrificing lamb. I'm not too disappointed that I missed that. Yesterday (the first day of the holiday) before practice, the team showed us the traditional dance associated with this holiday. They taught us and soon we were all joining in. In turn, the coach wanted us Americans to show an American dance. So we showed them the "Soulja Boy" dance. For you older generations, this is a hip hop dance. It was a lot of fun and we got to eat a lot of chocolate!
We are off to Burhaniye tomorrow to play them on Sunday. This a couple hours away from Izmir. Hope you all are enjoying the holiday season.
