Cairo City Champions!!

In Egypt, volleyball ranks very near the bottom in terms of sporting popularity - first being football, umm, I mean soccer - which probably is more accurately the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd most popular sport!! This followed by European handball, basketball, and then maybe volleyball. Maybe.

In any event, we managed to put together a team for a city tournament - we had about eight practices, maybe nine, and two exhibition games to get us ready - and WE WON!! It was an exciting day as we went undefeated to the finals where the boys won a three set thriller, two games to one (25-14, 24-26, 25-23). It was awesome, and just another reason teaching is pretty much the coolest profession on Earth!!
