Ive found people to play football with here. This weekend I've hung out with Theresa and John and their friends. Everyone is really, really nice and friendly, but it's still a little strange to be the worst at Spanish and the youngest by 4-15 years. Anyway, the guys of the group all get together and play football a few times a week. It's a mix of colombian and German men, all of whom are at least 26, mostly older, and then me, this 20 year o of female american. But it is really fun, and since women don't really play that much football here or in Europe, they all think I'm crazy good. I didn't bring any shoes I could run in thouh, so yesterday I walked down to the center to buy some tennis shoes. There is shop after shop filled with brand name - lacoste, addidas, Nike, etc - shoes, only when I went to pick some out, John explained that they're all fakes! So now I've got my own, super classy pair of knockoff addidas marathons.
Last night we went to this place called The Saloon, and heard this great live band, and I was somewhat forced to try aguadiente, the most popular hard alcohol, that tastes like cheap vodka with anise flavoring. Blehh.
