It's All Fun and Games Until Some Slides in Cow Crap
This Friday I donated a few soccer balls to the local Soysambu soccer team. After pumping up the balls for them they invited me to join them that night for a game. I was very excited to play and the rest of the day went very slowly because of it. Later in the after noon before they came to pick me up for the game another volunteer named Kirk from Michigan arrived. He was so overwhelmed by the beauty of Soysambu after we took a walk down to the lake and was really happy to be here. When the soccer players came to pick me up later I invited Kirk to come play as well. He accepted. We originally thought we'd be walking to the field but when two bikers arrived to pick us up I realized we'd be sitting on the back of the bicycle for this muddy and intimidating ride. It wasn't too bad though we ended up walking a third of the distance due to mud anyway. Once the four of us arrived at the field we started to warm up with the other players. Of course I am not the best soccer player but they said I was good so that boosted my confidence. Once the game started I was having so much fun in the rain but because of the high altitude I was panting like a dog. Boy was sprinting for two hours difficult at this high of a point but at least I scored a goal. By the end of the game (by the way my team lost but I scored once) we were all wet, both by rain and sweat and then walked back to the RC. Once we arrived there the power was out but luckily dinner was ready and after dinner Kirk and I were ready to go to bed.
