Wednesday-March 3rd, 2010 Chrissy and I went to our first Fútbol game! It was our friend Grace's 21st birthday and the plan was to go to the game, sadly since we bought our tickets a few hours after Grace, Becca, Emily and Kristina we were not able to sit with them :( Who knew buying the same cheap tickets---that they would be in the lower bowl and us in the upper bowl lol :) Anyhow, the stadium was incredible and ... awesome :) The footwork of the players---intense. At one point the goalie of the other team (Athletic Club is our team, and they played against Paraguay) hit the ground extremely hard and got back up and played like it was nothing. The crowd was very enthusiastic--people wearing the our flag as a cape, etc. Unfortunately, we lost 1-3, but it was still a cool experience to be at a professional game. Raquel and Oscar (my host parents) told me that our team is very proud (which is past evident if you walk the streets after a game :))--they're the only team who does not pay a ton of money to have star players play for us--all of the people on the team are only from the Basque Country.
