Remember how I said I would have to get used to playing soccer in the rain? Well my first practice was in a storm. I had to have several layers to keep me warm enough and not get hyperthermia. We did all sorts of drills including corner kicks and how to react when the ball is in your possession. It was quite fun until my legs were frozen and I couldn’t run. Mom bought me soccer pants for next time. We practice a lot! For two hours, 3 days a week. We practice heading the ball too. There were different stations and people would throw the ball and you would head it or do a two touch pass, etc. We had our first cup last Sunday and we won three games and lost once. Check out my trophy (see below). The fist game we played, we just barely beat the but I don’t Remember the exact score. Then we won 7-3 and I scored once. My team is pretty good at stuff like ball handling and passing. (see below)⚽️
We’ve had lots of little adventures around the city lately because the weather has been nice. Here’s a few photos of our walks and a photo of me photo-bombing my mom’s photo!
Last night we climbed mount Rundamen to our favorite picnic spot (see photos). My new favorite picnic snacks are kvikk lunsj (it’s a Norwegian kit kat bar for mountain hiking, see below) and bread 🍞 with Nutella AND NO PALMOIL!
Pokémon go update:
I learned about a secret pokemon hotspot from kids at school! The aquarium!! I finally got to go there this week and they were right! It had tons of rare pokemon there. I caught a ponyta, omanyte, pinsir, magmar, lots of egans, oddishes, and another pikachu! This week I also caught 2 aerodactlys and I since I made pikachu my buddy, I have walked 50 km with him and have enough candy to evolve him and get Richu. I also caught a lickitung and the library and I evolved 400 magicarp into a Giradose AND I evolved haunter into Gengar. I hope that I can trade these Pokemon with Rudi back home.
