After a morning run and breakfast it was time to enjoy one of the advantages of a hotel on the beach. The Maccabiah Beach Volleyball competition was held on the beach right outside our hotel.




I made a new friend from Mexico-Miguel.I seem to be meeting Mikes all over the place.



It was time to locate the chess juniors and get them ready for an important round of the tournament.

With one round to go in each tournament,Americans are atop the leaderboard with a chance to sweep the gold medals.

Make it 6 in a row for red hot David Wyde as the Austin Assassin takes Jerusalem by storm. He is now tied for first with Moshe Gal at 7 points.

Joseph Zeltsan continued to dominate the Juniors with another win over teammate Kevin Ordet and leads Ezra Chambers by 1/2 point.

"It wasn't easy for us to play since we are roommates and have played so many games this week," said Zeltsan.

Back at the hotel, the boys prepared for another chess filled night in their room with members of the squash team that included Ryan and Nathan.
