Day 14 Josh

It was all quiet on the plane, until Bradley Rustik with the facts woke the whole team up by sleep talking about some facts. The plane was approximately one hour away from the destination which was Miami, Florida when the team was awoken. The flight attendants handed out breakfast which consisted of, a slice of watermelon, three slices of melon, two slices of pineapple, cheesy bread, and orange juice. The rest of the flight went by in a jiffy and the long eight hour journey ended. At the airport, the group went through baggage claim and customs. After baggage claim we realized that Bradley Rustik was calling his girlfriend, " Ayse Raymond" we could tell he missed her dearly. We were so distracted by this beautiful sight of love that we realized we lost Niharhar Baxi when we were going through security check. Jack Corscadden was brainstorming when Bradley Rustik jumped out from the corner saying, " we should send someone to search for him!"This was another great idea by Bradley Rustik and the group agreed with it, so Brendans Dad went searching for Nihar. The whole group especially the parents were very worried about Nihars safety so all we could do was pray while Brendan's dad, "Scott" carried out the task. After 20 long minutes of playing touchgrind, Nihar was found! An interview was carried out once Nihar was found and he said he was scared. He said it was like being lost in Costco as a little kid. After this crisis we made sure we got the count right and boarded the plane departing for Dallas, Texas. The plane ride from Miami, Florida to Dallas, Texas went by quickly because everyone was asleep through the duration of the three hour flight. The group arrived to feel the heat of Tehas. The group waited for two hours in the airport of Dallas, Texas for the plane to taxi. Once the plane arrived the group boarded and had a peaceful flight. Everyone was excited to get to see their family again! This trip helped all the players get better at soccer but also helped build the characters of the players. Fernando and Xinho helped the players realize that they are all lucky to have what the have on the table because Fernando gave us an inspirational speech about how he got out of poverty by studying and as he grew up he volunteered a lot and started the school, "Quero Ser" which changed the lives of many students and said that helping others makes him happier so the players should volunteer and help others more. The whole group that went learned an important fact of Brazil from Fernando saying countless times, "Cars don't stop!"
