My First Futbol Game

Last night we saw Xela´s futbol team, Los Superchivos (Super Goats) play a scrimmage game against a team from Honduras. It was quite an exciting event that included fireworks, chanting, and lots of swearing, especially from the guys behind us. I also had some of the best stadium food ever at prices that would make Wrigley Field feel guilty ($2.00 US for a churrasco platter that included ribs (rabbit, I think), beans, green onions, potatoes, and tortillas.) Me gusta mucho! In the end, Los Superchivos lost 1-0....but they did have about 10 shots on goal in a 5 minute period which was pretty much worth the price of admission ($4 US). Go Chivos!

I am really excited about the food.


Pregame fireworks.


Becca drinking Pepsi out of a bag...this keeps angry fans from throwing cans filled with liquid onto the field.
