River Plate 0 vs. Rosario Central 0


Chrissie and I hopped a bus complete with guapo guide for our first Argentina futbol match - River Plate vs. Rosario Central. The rains had cleared and the sun was beating us down, but the sun was no match for the crowd. Check out the video below.




Chrissie and our guide had much to say to each other about teams and players and who was good and who was bad. I just listened along. This was my second favorite event of the week aside from the cemetary. Despite it being a zero sum game, it was very lively and great people watching and I think now that Futbol is my new favorite sport! (DL, sorry but this beats the Superbowl any day--although the burgers couldn't touch yours!)

Gary and I are laughing our way around BA with you and Chrissie and loving our virtual tour. Please eat an extra dessert, drink an extra coffee and sip yet another glass of wine for me. How are you holding up at school this week? Have you played hooky yet? Bunches of love from L&G
