Man oh man excitement runs through my body as I type this blog up. I have experience one of the best things of Ecuador. A futbol game!! I never been to a futbol (Spanish for soccer) game not even at my College in the States, but after experiencing what I did today I have such a greater appreciation for the sport its self. Thousands of people gather in the stadium to watch Barcelona (an Ecuadorean team) play against Quito. It was a very important game seeing as how if Barcelona lost they would be done for the season, but if they won they would be put in third place. Crazy part is when Barcelona and Quito played before, Barcelona lost, so the spirit was high in the stadium. In the end Barcelona won!! I was hugging people I did not even know, fireworks went off in the stadium, songs were being song in Spanish it was such a cultural enhancement for me. I loved it!
