Down at the Copa...: Game Day and an attempt to find Jesus

So we've now been here almost a week and had our first game under our belts. Training has been good, a bit of getting back into shape but overall things are really fun. We have been body surfing and playing polo everyday (terrible life, i know). Our first game went well. There were a few kinks to be worked out, it having been the first game that Juan and I played with the team, but it was a good experience and we played well. You always know it's going to be fun when the only thing you understand in the pregame meeting is that we don't sub out unless we want too haha. We ended up winning 11-5, and I had 2 goals, Juan had 1.

Our next adventure (actually happened before the game) was a trip up to see the Christ statue. However, what was a sunny day on the beach turned out to be extremely cloudy and foggy and rainy in the mountains. So we were unable to find Jesus, hopefully another day. We ended up going to a lookout on a point just below the statue and saw some cool views, but most was obscured by the clouds and rain. It was a fun excursion and at least we got to see monkeys!!
