I've been reluctant to bust out the camera that much so far, fearing I'll put a tourist impression in people's minds here. But, I think I'll be popping a few more here and there trying to gather some photographic memories of this journey. I'll try and take some action photo's (since I'm such a great photographer) and some of the guys and myself off the field too.
Here at the complex of the Pittsburg Pirates our team is put up in a dorm style hotel, and are enjoying our time here. Today is another B-E-A-utiful day here in Bradenton Florida, it's about 72 Fahrenheit (21 Celsius for all the Canadians and Europeans reading this) and sunny with just a few wispy clouds in the upper stratosphere.
Here's a few pics of some of the guys around and about...
About the best roommate a guy could ask for, Martijn Meeuwis (who was also my roommate during the Olympics). This is him chilling on our couch here before we head out to our second workout of the day
The coaches prepping for a practice. Rod Delmonico in the forefront, Wim Martinus in the middle and Bert Blyleven posting up on his orange fungo in the background
Berry Van Driel and MM on the bus from Orlando airport to Bradenton. We are all experiencing our first warmth in months
Some of the guys getting ready for 10 am training...
A couple national team veteran's, Percy Isenia and Dave Draijer, getting their gear together before practice in Manatee, Florida
Dirk Van't Klooster taking in some ping pong... He's played the most games in Netherlands national team history, over 200. And doesn't normally looks like this, strange pose by the veteran...
