Futbol!

So this weekend, we went to a professional futbol (soccer) game. Soccer is a big deal here, so we went all out and got the jerseys and everything. It was so fun! It was a special day because girls could get in free if they wore purple (team colors). Well we went to get our tickets and the guy told us that we needed to have a guy buy a ticket and then we could get in free. lol so here we are wondering where we could find 4 hombres. God was smiling upon us because right next to us was 4 guys that said they could take us in. We were pretty excited. So we got in and we are just cracking up at how all this is working out. Then these guys asked us where we were sitting and we had no idea, so they invited us to sit with them. At first, I was thinking that we were going to get hit on the whole time...but they ended up being really cool. They were from Costa Rica, so they didn't speak any English, so we were able to practice our Spanish a lot. The one I ended up talking to the most was actually sort of a youth pastor/leader at a Christian church. It was so neat! So we all just talked and they invited us to their church sometime and it was just fun. The game was great. It was freezing...the coldest I've been in CR. It was probably 55 degrees, but it was so cold. I know that sounds dumb...but comparatively speaking. So our team won and we were cheering and dancing and getting all into it. I loved it. The boys bought us some empanadas, which vendors sell up and down the stands like beer at baseball games! Good cultural experience :). Although I'd still rather go to a baseball game, I really had fun and we made Tico friends...exciting!
