Fort Lauderdale - day six

Weigh-in - Maya made weight at 51.4 kg, well within her -53kg weight class.  The line was so long and slow she probably lost a pound just waiting to get to the scale.

This afternoon she hung out with Sia at Trump Doral Resort.

Today was Maya's day off to rest and heal before Saturday.  Went to a really creepy theater and saw The Conjuring, a really creepy movie.
