Many thanks to Tonchi for allowing us to use his tv today so we could watch the gold medal hockey game. It was definitely the strangest hockey watching scenario I have ever had. Picture it. 32 degrees Celsius, ESPN Spanish broadcast with Spanish announcers, 4 locals who have no idea what hockey is about and 3 Canadians screaming their heads off. It was almost amusing to hear the announcers ramble on in Spanish and then hear them say Sydney Crosby or Roberto Luongo with a really heavy accent. The announcers really liked saying Jack Johnson's name alot for some reason and put alot of emphasis on the "John" part of Johnson. Everybody thought it was funny to see the Canadians go crazy with every goal, hit or penalty and to see us crumple when the US scored with 24 seconds left.
It was a slow day overall with church, followed by once again a lunch of chicken, rice, yuca, french fries and plantains. You have to understand that chicken places here are like the Model T. You can have any combination you want as long as its chicken, rice, yuca, french fries and plantains. Your only real decision is whether you want to go to a chicken place where the chicken is fried or roasted. Other than that, its chicken, rice, yuca, french fries and plantains.
Short post today. Way to go Canada.
