It was a Tuesday.<\/p>\n
A day of tennis in Modena Italy<\/p>\n
On a Tuesday I got a call from my friend Monica from Modena. She said “Susie I need you to play tennis on Saturday in Modena”. It is a double tournament and I need you to come! She assured me that it would be great fun two hours of tennis in the morning, lunch, two hours of tennis in the afternoon, and then a meal with the group.<\/p>\n
Little did I understand what this really meant at the time I said \u201cYES\u201d!<\/p>\n
I planned my trip, leaving from Marradi on Friday late afternoon arriving by train in Modena.<\/p>\n
Stepping off the train in Modena tennis gear in hand, Oh and a cooler full of frozen bottles of ice. This became a big joke as Italians never, I mean never, use ice on hot days to cool off. Me however being the American that I am I had a huge bag of ice. Monica helped me but laughed while carrying the cooler of ice bottles. Shaking her head and laughing at my American ice she assured me that she had room in the freezer for my ice.<\/p>\n
After a short trip to her small town outside of Modena, we decided to go back to Modena to the festival of Music. All the small squares and parks in town had live music of all different kinds. It was a wonderful atmosphere. I can compare it to a state fair with food vendors, kids running, parents enjoying the music, the community coming together. \n<\/p>\n
Knowing we had to play tennis the next morning at 8am we decided to only have one bottle of Lambrusco accompanied by these wonderful fried sandwiches filled with all types of different meat and cheese typical snack of the area. It was hard not to stay and enjoy the night of music, but we managed to make it home at midnight!<\/p>\n
Saturday the day of the tournament, I woke ready to go with my tennis bag and cooler of ice! As we get closer to the tennis courts I started to feel a bit overwhelmed. How will this go? Who will I be playing with? Will I understand what is going on? The nerves set in!!! Oh NO!!! What am I doing?<\/p>\n
