They play again on Friday and the final game is Sunday.

The Trevi Fountain sort of reminds me of the crowd around Old faith in Yellowstone Park (discounting the cop with the automatic/semi rifle in the background). Glad he's there. God bless the energy of the young!

Only 9 Huskies in the picture?? Time for more paranoid speculation to commence!

I would speculate that it had something to do with "Gelato"

Thx. I misunderstood - last day in Rome, not last day in Italy. Go Huskies!!

Wringing hands---where are they? Bad people everywhere! Whoe is me. Whoe is the NC--the NC that's what's important and only second to not losing any games--whoe , whoe, whoe.

They're going to see a horse race next so, "Whoa."

Is it Gee or Haw for a right turn??

Racehorses only turn left...except in Europe. Let me know if you want those eggs Benedict with Hollandaise, Broadway. I'm buying but you have to come to San Diego to collect.

Here are the 13 players ...

I'm guessing that's just at the south end of the Ponte Vecchio, if they're in Florence already. If still in Rome, I dunno.

Looks like it could be at the Palio in Sienna based on those flags.........one of my favorite places........nothing like watching amateur jockeys ride horses through a square with banked curves............of course I'm more concerned for the safety of the horses then the nutty guys riding them............

 

[Charliebball]

Yup

Hail, hail the gang is ALL here. Finally a picture of the ENTIRE team. Hope they are enjoying their first road trip of the 2017-2018 year. Judging from the smiles, I'd say they were. If you're one of the freshmen, you've got to be thinking "what a wonderful way to begin my career at UConn. A free trip to Rome, see the major tourist attractions, and eat at some of the finest restaurants in the city. This is an unparalleled opportunity to bond with my teammates". This picture would make a wonderful screen saver or wallpaper.

Can I send my daughter and her Family, they live between you and LA--she graduated from SD State. Thanks for the invite. We do toddle , old people toddle, towards your area--I'd sure like to see the UCLA/UC game that way--just to see the turnout for KLS.

Am I just biased --or are these NOT the greatest looking kids EVER.
I am so pleased the KLS-Precious are always side by side--great buddies. Touly and Z seem to have the same.
Thanks Kaizen!! You sure do pull up some great pix. Thanks.

Geno gets some advice on how to use "his big girl" ...or so it seems. Aureimma, Famed Jockey, Hold Court in Italy

Yes, it is the Palio di Siena ... 1 race in July, and one now. Saw a documentary a while back. It's a wild festival.

My wife and I had one of the best meals of our lives in Siena. The trip looks just wonderful, as do our Huskies. When Kia returned, a light went on; it always makes me happy to see that smart, happy face. Northern Italy is fabulous. Hope the women have fun and enjoy the Mona Lisa--and come back safe and sound.

I learned "Turn right" and Turn left" in Italian from the female GPS voice of an Audi A6 diesel in Bologna ("Svoltare a destra" & "Svoltare a sinistra" over and over again til I was saying it in my sleep)

 

[ed4ourgirls]

. . . Hope the women have fun and enjoy the Mona Lisa . . .

I'm afraid they would have to go to the Louvre in Paris to see the Mona Lisa.

But there is an abundance of famous art, both painting and sculpture, to be seen in Florence.

Beautiful ladies...just beautiful in every way,women. What more can one say. Oh, and I heard they play a pretty good game of basketball as well! We are truly blessed.
