The Augustana basketball teams are heading to Brazil this week and will be blogging on the trip. Chaney Tambling is blogging for the women’s team and you can catch their blog posts on the D3hoops.com Daily Dose. Brandon Motzel is blogging for the men’s team.

After getting some much needed sleep, the team set out to find a restaurant for lunch. After eating our first meal, we walked about 5 minutes to the beach. Although it is cloudy and overcast, we decided that there wasn’t a better time to start playing in the water than now.

The beach wasn’t crowded which gave us the perfect opportunity to take lots of pictures and have a little fun while doing it. Now we are back in our hotel and plan on checking out the pool before heading to our first game at 7 p.m.
