This week I am still reading " Can I Keep My Jersey?" by Paul Shirley (himself). Where I am at in the book the setting is in Barcelona, Spain where Paul is playing for a team in the European Basketball League. It is almost the end of the season it is late February, where Paul and his team are on the way to the playoffs when all of the sudden in a game Paul gets hurt really bad. then the next week, it is March 6, When he founds out that he going to take a month to heal and another month to get ready to play basketball again. His shoulder is all messed up and so is his neck. Now that he can't play basketball for a month he goes one of the most famous beach in Barcelona, which is across the street of his awesome apartment. Paul is hoping he still can play basketball because he doesn't know what he will do without it. He lives in downtown Barcelona, so he walks around town enjoy all the great sights with his younger brother who just came to Barcelona to visit him. Most of the day Paul hangs out with his brother takes the train around town hoping to see the girl of his dreams all while enjoying that he is still getting paid for sitting on the bench because he is hurt. Since he has been in Spain for almost 6 months his Spanish is getting very good and he is really starting to like Barcelona even though he can't even play basketball in front of all the screaming Spanish local fans.
