FINAL DAY IN ESTONIA
The NWU Men's Basketball team was victorious once again tonight, defeating BC Parnu. The game was close for the first quarter. Then the Prairie Wolves stormed to a 21 point lead to close the half. BC Parnu countered the NWU run with a comeback of their own. BC slowed the Wesleyan attack with a zone that saw NWU go cold from the field. After a very tight fourth quarter, NWU managed to hold off the BC Parnu charge and secure the victory.
Final Score - Game #3
NWU - 68
BC Parnu - 59
Earlier today, the team went to the beach and enjoyed some sun. Some of the guys swam in the sea. Others played volleyball and mini golf. A few of the members ventured back to the hotel to relax before the game. The team then ate a pre-game game meal and rested before game time.
During our down time, we discussed the different cultural experiences during our trip to Estonia. We compared what we expected to see, and what we actually saw. We also pointed out things that we expected to see that were indeed true. For example, many of us thought that the country would not be very developed; however, it is very much like America. The guys also discussed their favorite parts of the trip. The common theme of the everyone's favorite part of the trip was tree climbing, paintballing, and meeting some very interiting Estonians.
We well depart Parnu in the morning, and return to NWU tomorrow night.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 18
Last night we stayed at the Beaver Farms. We woke this morning to some of the sounds of the farm animals in the pasture next to our farm house. We had a fun-filled day yesterday as the team went tree climbing in the morning and played paintball in the afternoon. We had a team dinner around 9pm and then everyone went to the sauna.
Today we travel to Parnu. We will have a chance to visit the beach this afternoon. We practice tonight at 7pm.
We will be updating the blog with photos of tree climbing... On to Parnu!
