Soccer Glory

A few weeks ago the most exciting thing to happen in a LONG time in Leon finally happened: the soccer team won the second division championship and went up to the first division. I know, not all that thrilling for non-soccer fans, but remember, people LOVE soccer down here and go crazy for it.  So, it was pure euphoria for a couple days in the city following the ascension.  And I was lucky enough to go to the game (which was crazy: non-stop chanting, screaming, cups of beer flying, and fireworks going off in the crowd (Not above the stadium - INSIDE the stadium where people were sitting).

You've gotta check out these links to see how crazy the atmosphere was:

Other than that, not much is new.  I'm excited to be going back to the US in a couple weeks.  I come back June 24 and will be staying for about a month (with a week in between dedicated to a friend's wedding and post-wedding vacation with college friends).  Lately, I've been feeling like it might be time for me to come back for good to the US in order to go back to school and get on with my "real" life. haha.  Things are still going well here and I like my job but I've been here for almost 2 and a half years (which was way longer than the 5 months I had originally planned).  I'm hoping that this trip home will help me reassess my short term goals. 

That's all for now!  Hasta pronto!
