Futbol, Argentinian Style

This is a short post, but I'll update with more info later. Only a few minutes of internet left in the day.

Hoy, yo juego futbol in el parque! It was awesome! I met up with a few people from school and we joined a local pick up game for almost two hours of futbol. I was the only woman, which was a bit intimidating. Once we started playing it was hilarious. We had people of all ages, from nineteen to over sixty years old! I hope I can still play at sixty! We played in the park and we all took a turn falling on the lumpy, uneven ground. We also had to watch out for stray dog poo...gross! Anyway, it was so fun to play and to see how the men reacted to a woman in the mix. I scored two goals and our team won 5-4. I also received a few marriage proposals...apparently it's pretty rare for women in Argentina to play soccer :) I look forward to more soccer weekends! Anyway, the weather was awesome and I spent the whole day outside running around and it was AWESOME! Things are looking up :)
