Team Trujeque Update 2

I've noticed some strange utterances from some members of the soccer coaching staff. Yes, it is true Team Trujeque was handed it's first loss "ever" at Ciudad de Dios. However, it was a great contest with Team Wardell pulling out the win in overtime. Here's the scoop, Team Trujeque's Reque clubs won both divisions during camp one. I don't know why Wardell was implying that I chose overage players. These players were just as tall as Christian and I thought Peruvian boys could grow mustaches and beards at that age! I did when I was 12, and mine was almost as nice as my mom's! LOL! I think Team Wardell should thank their lucky stars that they didn't get swept again during the Copa de Gringo!

Camp 2 was just an excellent and exciting event! All of the contests were exciting and the volleyball venue was rocking once again! Tori's volleyball team lost again and I'm sure it wasn't because Daniel recruited a 15 year old girl to play on his club. The kids were pretty pumped up to get their pictures, t-shirts, medals, and champions cups! We all felt like rock stars as we were signing autographs and posing for pictures with the kids and their mom's. It was a wild scene when we were trying to leave in the bus. The roar of the crowd was just awesome!

As I mentioned in my previous blog, I was offered cattle in exchange for my daughter's. I was originally offered 10 cows for Kelsey and then I rec'd an offer of 12 for Taylor. (Taylor had her usual gang of kids around her and I'd noticed the teenage boys seem to be hanging around more.) I was trying to close the deal when Tori broke off the negotiations! Now, I'm stuck with two teenagers and no steak! The people in the villages as so much fun to talk to and to interact with while were here. Their English isn't the best and our Spanish is nothing to write home about but we seem to communicate well. They have a great sense of humor and I feel a genuine appreciation for what were are doing here.

I'm going to miss these people when it's time to go home.

Thanks,

Andy
