Today was the last soccer tournament for the area, and the winners of girl and boy soccer will be moving on to "state" finals at the beginning of next month. Pictured is the sudden death losing shot for the girls, the boy team who won (with their coach and supporting teachers) and the goalie and two of her friends from the winning girls team. For the group picture, I had to catch them off guard to get anyone to smile, since team pictures are extremely solemn affairs.
The tournament this morning was a fun way to release pent-up enthusiasm and energy - especially for the teachers, who are spending tomorrow preparing two schools to host a "Congreso", or huge conference, for preschool teachers. It is estimated that 700 teachers will be descending upon our tiny town, so there is a lot to do before they all show up on Wednesday for three days. I've been happily drafted into helping serve lunch, although I have no idea how we're going to find places for 700 people to sit! Should be an adventure!
