Dodgers Baseball Game. Friday. 22 july

We got up in friday's morning to have breakfast and go to Cougar Dome to have devotions. There, they made us go to the basketball room and made us play some games to wake us up. We had to spin around in two groups in two big circles, and when Devon shouted we had to get into groups of two with our roommates and the group who was slower, lose. We did not finished because it was kind of a long game. After that, we heard a little more of Joseph, and his rollercoaster life, his ups and downs, and how he used his gift, to interpret dreams, for good things in his life. When we went out, it was time for lunch and we went again to the tai restaurant, like the first weekend in SUPP. I got to eat with chopsticks again and I liked it a lot because it feels strange to my fingers. The food was spicy as in general in the US, but I could eat it. For our american culture activity we learned how to play baseball on Trinity's lawn. We were playing boys against girls after the interns explained the game to us. The boys won finally and we we had an our to shower and prepare ourselves to the big game. We all wore blue shirts, supp shirts, or Dodgers shirts, that were blue too. Because Dodgers are blue, and it's slogan is "think Blue". After that, we went straight to the buses that were taking us to our Dodger's game. It was so big! But is as big as soccer stadiums in Argentina. When we arrived there was still two hours left for the game to start. So we took a lot of pictures and talked about the game, because some of us were not really sure how the game was. While we were waiting we could smell all kinds of sweets and greasy food. There were Cracker Jacks and Peanuts of course, and ice cream and Dodger Dogs. I only had a Dodger dog because that's all what I could buy besides a water bottle, because all is so expensive there. The stadium was so clean also. It surprised me because in many stadiums the sits usually are sticky and greasy. The bathrooms were much more cleaner than in Argentina too. And they had doors, in contrast with Argentina, sadly. Anyway, the Nationals vs Dodgers game begun. We started loosing with 3 points against us, and it stayed the same until the last entrance when Dodgers made a great hit, although they made only 3 points to match the game. And we had hope, until the Nationals made a Home Run and gained four points at one time. But we had a great time anyway because we laughed a lot because we did not understand sometimes and we cheered for the Nationals. We had lots of fun. We ate dinner during the game. I ate my Dodgers Dog and some snacks I had brought. That sausage reminded me of home again. It was delicious! Now I know why it is so famous. When we headed back to our buses, I saw a limousine! I was surprised to have one so close to me. I fell asleep in the bus because I was so tired of so much fun!
