2018/3/22 A Day Off in Madrid 馬德里輕鬆一天

There’s no game today. After the frustrated game result yesterday, coach decided to have a day off without practice and took girls to Madrid for short city tour. 今天沒有比賽。經過昨天的挫敗之後，教練決定讓球員休息一天不練球，來個馬德里半日遊。 We didn’t go with teams since Tiffany had 11:00 appointment with doctor for her wounds. Doctor examined the wounds, put ointment on the wounds and wrapped it. Tiffany was asked to keep the ointment and wrap on her elbow for the following 24 hours, and back for another treatment after practice tomorrow. Doctor’s attitudes made me feel a little comfort. After the treatment, we decided to go to Madrid by train to join the teams. 因為Tiffany跟大會醫生約了11:00，所以不能跟其他人一起去馬德里。醫生檢查了她的傷口也做了清洗，給她的傷口上了藥膏，包紮起來，交代她24小時不要把包紮拿掉，第二天練完球再來看一次。醫生的態度讓我稍稍放心。治療完傷口後，我們決定要搭火車去馬德里去跟球隊會合。

We arrived in Madrid at Sol by C Train. And found the teams are having lunch nearby. We joined coaches in a Tapas for Paella. After lunch, we realized most of the players are having burgers in Burger King! What a waste, having Burger King as lunch in Spain! We took part of the crew to Torrons Vicens, the specialist for Artisan Nougats since 1775 for gift shopping. We walked around the streets to enjoy the architectures, and found a café to sit down for a drink. We didn’t really see the city since we felt Tiffany needs some rest, and she slept for an hour in the café. 我們搭火車直達太陽門廣場，發現大家都在附近吃午餐。我們跟教練一起在一家小館子吃了西班牙海鮮飯。跟大家會合後，發現很多球員居然在漢堡王吃午餐！唉，居然在西班牙吃漢堡王，真是浪費！帶了部分球員去Torrons Vicens，一家1775年就開始營業賣手工牛軋糖的店買了有名的杜隆糖作禮物。我們在馬德里市中心散了一會歩，欣賞了當地的建築物，就找了一家咖啡廳坐下來喝飲料。因為Tiffany需要休息，我們並沒有參觀太多馬德里市區景點，事實上她趴在咖啡廳桌上睡了一個多小時。

After the relax and mental adjustment, wish they will have better performance in the game against Iceland tomorrow. 希望經過今天的休息和心情調整，明天對冰島的比賽她們能好好表現！
