A Northwestern Experience, Soccer In The Rain

Yesterday, October 19, I invited over some neighborhood kids for a mini soccer tournament barefoot in the rain. We had enough support for three five man teams. Sadly, my team lost, but it was an enjoyable time. The rain came at about halftime of the first game, and from there on out, it was anyone’s game. The field became one giant mud pit, and people were flying everywhere. We lost 12 – 8. Kelly was even able to get a photo of me falling down… thanks! Here are some photo’s of playing in a torrential downpour. When all was said and done, the winning team went home with a 2.3 liter of Orro (a cheap Inca Cola –a South American favorite that some say tastes like cotton candy/bubble gum).
