In the Spirit of the Nations, welcome to the Oman 2011 expat basketball tournament!!
Our first time at the Sultan Qaboos Sport Complex was for the opening ceremonies for our embassy basketball team. The complex is smaller than the Alamo dome in San Antonio but they have coolers on the back wall full of free drinks. The kids really enjoyed themselves as the jock jams music played overhead. People were running around with their countries flag tied on their shoulders as a cape. Some wore face paint to get in the spirit of the games. The players were introduced and walked out to center court. I see my shinning knight in front. He chose the number 7 because that is my birth date. I always giggle when I see Hemp on his jerseys. The girls holding the signs are representing the eight countries in the tournament.....Serbia, Spain, Oman, Turkey, Philippines, Lebanon, Sudan and USA. First game of the night was Serbia verses Spain. USA plays tomorrow. So, more pictures to come!!!
