GOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!!!

Today began with a well-earned extra fifteen minutes of sleep. After a bountiful repast off eggs, pancakes, toast, juices, and other delectable foods, we set off for our fourth day at the Centro Bilingüe. During our classes, we learned the past tense, subjunctive tense, and new verbs such as soler. After them, we left our school to try our hand at cooking Mexican food and pizza. We returned to Centro Bilingüe and finished work on our piñatas for the piñata contest on Friday. After school we had a small break and played rousing games of poker, Presidents, and other card games. At four o’clock, we got on the bus and headed off to play a game of soccer against an AC Milan training club. After selecting a formidable lineup, along with help from Carlo, an AC player, we began a game of ‘futbol’ with the second-best club in San Miguel. The Mexicans jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but soon after their second goal Marcos put one home to cut the differential in half. At halftime, the score was 4-2 (with Marcos scoring another), and although the Milanese club put on a few subs to start the second half, the tide of the game was soon turned. Early in the second half, Darian scored to make it 4-3. Successive goals by Carlo and Marcos put us ahead. Later, Guenther “Guenther” Guenther sent a ball to Cameron that was scored beautifully. A late 35 yard goal from AC Milan made Cameron’s goal vital in attaining our winnings- Coke for everyone!! A rematch was scheduled after the game for Tuesday or Thursday. We got back on the bus and headed to the Casa Carmen. Soon after, we went to La Mansion del Bosque for a nice meal followed by a great dessert of caramel dipped bananas to round off a fun and athletic day.
