Today is Sunday, February 20, 2011 - Day 3 in Argentina. It’s 11:24 a.m. and boys are playing frisbee in the yard, killing a little time before lunch. This morning the guys had an early training session and then we watched the reserves play Quilmes. EDLP won 4-2. It was a great experience for the guys to see a game of this quality up close. Especially with Michael Hoyes in the team. Tonight we will see the first team play.
I am proud of how well the guys are adjusting. The guys are getting their legs now after a few hard training sessions. They will be tested tomorrow when they have their first match with the EDLP players.
The Futbol Infantil players (youth ages 8-13) players are of on the weekend. They trained really hard on Friday, arrival day. They did well as the session got going. They have some new friends and nicknames.
The chaperones are having a great time touring the cities and eating great food! We all did a quick tour of Buenos Aires with a little shopping. It’s a great joy to share my experiences and these experiences with the group and there is a lot more to follow. I like seeing everyone testing themselves and enjoying the experience.
