Futbol

Last week I went to my first professional soccer match here in Paraguay. My towns team was the underdog. We were playing a worldly known team from Argentina called Boca Juniors. We ended up losing which I was happy about only because I was scared of riots because the fans from the other team can be crazy! It was a great game and an even better experience. I went with 3 other volunteers and got dinner before at a local spot, had a few beers and went in for the game. We cheered like the locals and jumped when they jumped! It had been a while since I had been to a live sports event and it felt good to be surrounded by that energy again!
