Soccer with the Colombians

So I was staring forlornly out of my window in the Residence when I saw to kids kicking a soccer ball around. Having recently attempted to take the 'might as well try it' approach to study abroad (and drugs?[no not drugs]) I threw on my cleats and pants, grabbed my gloves and headed out. I was already wearing a shirt for those keeping score. I wandered to the field, and asked them if they needed a goalie. They did, took shots at me, I proved worthy, and half an hour later was taking part in a full-sided game...with all of the Colombians in Avila. It was one of the odder demographics to be interacting with, 2 or three generations worth of mediocre soccer and only one generation worth of defense (the stalwart grandfathers). Needless to say it was a lot of fun, and they have invited the great gringo goalkeeper to their weekly scrimmages!
