Hello from Nagoya Japan,

Myself and the rest of the girls with the U.S. National team have just arrived at our second destination of the Grand Prix Tournament.  Grand Prix is a month long tournament spent in a different country every week.  Each week we play a round robin type tournament with three other teams.  It is a difficult tournament to win because there is a lot of travel involved which translates to often playing in different time zones each week against some of the top teams in the world.  Last week we had the opportunity to play Serbia, Kazakhstan ...
