Futbol y mas futbol

Sunday morning was an eventful day as we watch our first live Costa Rican soccer match! Quite exhilirating! We awoke early, the first time in days, in order to arrive on time to the bus stop for Cartago. After allowing two buses labeled Cartago-San Jose to pass us because of our timidness and anxiety of taking the wrong bus, we motioned the 3rd bus labeled Cartago to stop and pick us up. We asked the bus driver to tell us when we arrived at the bus stop closest to the Cartago stadium, and immediately we found ourselves on a street covered with Saprissa uniforms and gear. We sat in the sombra, spanish for shade and enjoyed watching the Ticos enjoy the last regular season game! Speaking of playoffs, Go Coyotes (2-1 ahead of Detroit-1st round) and Suns (0-1 behind Portland-1st round)!!

We arrived an hour and a half early! It was a beautiful day!


Pregame walkout- supporting children's athletes!


Kickoff!!


After the soccer game in Cartago, we headed to downtown San Jose for a late lunch. After lunch we headed to the Alajuelita, south of San Jose, for a soccer game. Last sunday Krystle did not get the opportunity to play, so we set up a girl's game at the same field that I played at last sunday. Krystle's team won 14-4, a wondeful ending to a long day of futbol!
