So this was Day 2. Lets hope the video uploads as I have hit my 5gb of data for this month with ATT and they have throttled me so my upload is going to take a couple hours as opposed to 4 mins like it normally takes:( but I will always have a text version of the blog for those that prefer to read or those that dont have video capabilities.
So today we woke up at 6:30 and got all our stuff together and got downstairs for breakfast by 7am. We then went back to the team room for some policies and procedures and safety training. We learned what to do and what not to do on the trip and what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. We did that for about 5 hours and then after that we had a little break and then lunch and then we headed off to our first friendship visit.
We went to San Francisco to the Pomeroy Recreation and Rehabilitation Center. This facility is huge and helps out clients with a very diverse collection of needs. We were greeted very warmly and were brought in where we were scheduled to play a basketball game.
This game was pretty amazing. I myself am still working on being more outgoing so hopefully by the end I will be able to very easily get out and interact with everyone and not be as nervous/hesitant. As the game went on we learned very quickly that these people are very good at basketball and well we lost pretty badly with a score of 68-8 we learned that we might need to focus on our cycling and leave the basketball to the pros.
We then received a tour of the facility and saw the structure that Pi Kapps and Push America built many many years ago. They have a great facility that can cater to a variety of needs. We then had our dinner that was sponsored by Mike Barnes who is a Gamma chapter Alum and a 3 time Pi Alpha (someone that has done Journey of Hope or Gear up Florida). Papa Johns = Best pizza Ever
After that we came back here and did some debriefing and broke for the evening.
Peace, Love, and Balls
