Today was Sports Day at school.  So I got to wear my recently purchased Costa Rica soccer jersey to school, because I’m cool like that.  I spent the first part of school bagging snacks that the students get after games.  The snacks include a Gatorade, granola bar, and an apple and are now in plastic bags that are all tied up.  Those kids better enjoy their apples, because I worked really hard on putting them in their bags.  I essentially spent the rest of the day outside watching soccer games that Pan-American was participating in.  The boys’ team is really good and won their games 3-0 and 5-0 and will likely win the tournament.  The girls’ team struggled in their first game, but pulled out a win in exciting fashion during their second match.  There is one girl who scored from a corner kick and from a break away after a free kick and I’m pretty sure she is in middle school.  She scored her second goal with 3 minutes left to give them a 2-1 win.  When I home I took a run in the rain.  It was the first significant rain that I’ve been outside for since we got here.  Now the whole house and all of the outsides smell like rain.  Dinner consisted of some fried chicken and that made me happy.  It’s been a busy week thus far.
