soccer teams

we help to support a couple of boys soccer teams in amparo. danny and jose play in div. a and jonny and meffi play in div. b. last sunday both teams won. the game was about 1 hour drive away and a whole bunch of us piled in a cattle truck for the ride there and back. the cheering was very loud and most of the way home. they were all so happy. we left at 10 and returned about 6.30. the kids were all yelling the usual winning sports cheers i guess and as we pulled into amparo the truck's horn was blaring and the boys continuous yelling was to the maximum. it was so cool to see them all so happy. i felt sorry for div b though. there may be 2 teams but there are only enough shirts for 1 team so whoever plays the second game gets to wear a well worn, very ripe shirt.

there is a soccer game almost every sunday. next sunday we go to aqua zacas, near san carlos. the boys are winning most of their games and i have become a soccer mom. i used to go to my daughter's soccer games but they play in the cold and the rain. i like it much better here.

soccer shoes are called tacos and i bought myself a pair so i could play with the boys in the front yard. yesterday jose was teaching me how to control the ball. they have tried to get me to play at the park. not a chance. they have suggested i play on the girls teams. they're out of their minds. if nothing else i'm getting exercise and the boys are getting a good laugh. i have also learned that you don't play in white shorts.
