Soccer is the national sport in Honduras. Everyone watches and/or plays this sport. The soccer field that was built at Casa last year get used almost daily.
This afternoon Reina and I both were working. It is rare for either of us to be working late Saturday afternoon. The kids were playing soccer. Reina started playing goalkeeper. I watched this for a while. Reina is about as athletic as I am. I decided to level the playing field and go into the other goal.
Thankfully, the goal was small and I had a good defender (Antonio) in front of me. Antonio kept most of the balls from getting to me. I stopped a few. Certainly not all of them. One of the high balls, I just put my hands over my eyes and ducked. My teammates were impressed with that. The other goalkeeper laughed at me. The kids laughed at me. I laughed at me. It was better than getting hit in the face.
It didn't take too much playing time for Reina and me before we gracefully bowed out.
