This past weekend, Michael's sister Janis came down from Hampden, Maine to hang out with us. Janis's daughter, Michelle (number 22) plays soccer for Husson College, http://static.husson.edu/cache/, in Bangor,Maine. Michelle and her team were in the national college soccer playoffs, playing the soccer team from William College at Williams College in Williamstown, MA. Williamstown is a town in Berkshire County, in the northwest corner of Massachusetts. It took us three and a half hours to travel from Cape Cod to the end of Massachusetts. We drove out to Williamstown on the Mass Pike. Williams College, http://www.williams.edu/, has a great looking campus.
The day was cloudy, windy, cold and there were snow flakes. I forgot how cold the 30's are, of course I didn't plan well in the clothing department, I found that one has to be dressed warmly and not fashionly, also I was glad the season Soccer Mom that Janis is, packed well and had plenty for us to keep warm.
The game was exciting, Husson (go Green) gave Williams a run for the title. As cold as it was the women were in shorts and t-shirts, Yikes how did they keep warm. The game was exciting and of course very fast pace they don't shut the clock off, except at mid game for a ten minute break. There are two periods , each at forty five minutes each and a ten minute break between periods.
Even though Husson lost 3 - 0, it was a great game and it was worth the cold and snow. It was also great to see Michelle since I haven't seen her for over a year.
