Goal!

Today we grabbed a bite to eat for breakfast and made it back to the Centro just in time to catch a traditional processional that was part of the fiesta that is about to begin in the city. It was incredible seeing all of the indigenous people in their traditional outfits. Endless colors of woven material could be seen everywhere. After a large mass they all lined up and marched around the Centro, carrying a statue, some type of coffin, and burned incense along the way. It was very different from anything I've seen.

Soon we met Maria and Yvonne in the Centro and jumped on a bus up the hill to the stadium to catch our first Futbol game. Quite an experience! It reminded me a lot of a Saturday college football game, only rowdier! We were sitting in the equivalent of the student section, where the big drums were being beaten and cheers being led during the whole game. It was a fun experience, and we can't thank Maria and Yvonne enough for graciously inviting us to come with! Muchas Gracias! Xela even pulled off the win!
