Saturday!

A bunch of the volunteers headed out to see the soccer game in Ayacucho...Inti Gas (Ayacucho) vs. some other team...aka the dark side. When we got there much to our dismay, we weren't allowed to bring our water bottles into the game (apparently some people like to use them as weapons against the players/officials) so we had to check them into an area. Our liquid refreshments were them returned to us in plastic sacks with straws...how those couldn't be used as weapons too bewilders me. Anyways, we were pretty amused by the whole situation. The game got better when the Inti Gas team came out to the field and their mascot was a giant gas tank...and yes someone was wearing a gas tank costume! haha! The game was dominated by Inti Gas, but unfortunately they failed to score...so the game ended in a tie 0-0.

The rest of my day was spent on random errands trying to find medical tubing to do arm exercises for swimming and trying to find a pool. The pool everyone told me was the best was about 95 degrees...yuck! And the outdoor pool was closed thanks to the soccer game...sigh, I guess Peruvians have different priorities. haha!
