http://www.mariasharapova.com 7/27/2008 10:52:00 AM This is definitely long over due and I promise it will never be that long again. 距離上一篇已經超過兩個月…保證以後不會再隔這麼久。 So after Wimbedon I decided to be completely spontaneous and travel around France by train with Camilla and her mom, who were already in town for work. It was one of the coolest experiences of my traveling career...kind of reminded me of the junior days where you would travel from one European city to next on train. We spent a day in Paris from which we went to Bordeaux, then to Lourdes and back to Paris for Couture week...oh and back to London for the Stella event. When we would get to one city, we would plan the train and hotel for our next day, basically not knowing what anything would be like. We stayed in the city center of Bordeaux, and found out that it was their last day of a wine festival along the river... Everyone was walking around with this wine glass in a little red purse and a booklet of coupons for each wine tent. They had all these different food stations, each serving certain specialties such as cheese, different meats, freshly baked bread and homemade waffles (my idea of heaven). 溫網之後，跟 Camilla Belle 以及她母親在法國玩了一趟。 (原本官網的 Camilla 照片被移除了，可以看 1726 篇的大圖。) 像小時候比賽時一樣，搭著火車往來於歐洲各城市間…。 Lourdes was one of the most touching experiences I think I will ever have in my life. We visited all the chapels, the grotto, and attended the procession in the evening which was stunning. I have never seen so much candle light in such a small amount of space. It's a great thing to be a part of for a day, no matter what religion you follow. 在 Lourdes 參訪所有教堂等等…。 Then it was back to work where I spent many hours of each day working with Prince on different rackets and strings. Ever since Indian Wells and that backhand incident, I haven't been able to get my arm up and close to my head without some sort of impingement and grinding..so I've been trying different rackets with different weight balances that are a bit more flexible and the strings looser to get as much tension away from my arm as possible. So for the last week I have been playing with a new frame...I'm usually very sensitive to any minor changes and we usually do this in the off season, but we really had no choice this time. Apart from that I spent a good ten or so days concentrating on my fitness and in the last week have been playing a few practices and matches etc. 回到正事上，開始試打新拍。因為自從印地安泉的反拍事件(？！) 後，就無法自在地將手臂高舉過頭…所以開始藉由改變拍線磅數等方式，盡量減輕對手臂的壓力。因為對於這些微小的變化很敏感，通常季外才會這麼做，但現在不得不為，上週開始用一個新拍框。 (目前有的訓練照片都很小張： http://www.tennisforum.com/showpost.php?p=13710537&postcount=3080 等比賽再看大圖才能判斷是換哪支拍吧。) On the weekends I have been going up to my friends lake house in Arrowhead where we barbeque, go on the boat, wake board, and chill out ( even managed to get a flat tire on the way there, which made for a good story). First time I have ever tried doing any sort of water sport...lets just say it was a challenge getting up the first time around (basically I couldn't get up and swallowed half the lake) but the second weekend I was a pro (on my level of course). Will provide pictures of the embarrassing evidence. 週末去朋友的湖邊屋子玩(輪胎沒氣還硬是到那邊)，嘗試水上運動…雖然第一次吞了半座湖水，也根本站不起來，第二週去就不錯了，會提供很囧的真相給大家看。 Went to my first Cold Play concert last week which was so great..and how good is their new album! Viva La Vida, Strawberry Swing.... 第一次去看 Coldplay 的演唱會，也推薦他們的新專輯！ Will be in touch... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.133.99.37
