Ecole Rahal Casablanca On Styrsö in Sweden

Here they are, Ecole Rahal Fotboll ready to take a boat from Styrsö back to the mainland - Gothenburg, Sweden. The player with the A on his baseball hat lives here in Gothenburg and we got to chat in Swedish. Then we jumped up. 

It is Saturday night here on the island so I will post this and be back tonight or tomorrow with more, I hope with a video of the boat they took. More pics too.

Great gang, lots of fun.

Eid mubarak!
