i think i left off satudray when i had to leave for my game. game saturday. lost....3-0.....but we had a bunch of players just trying out cuz its still preseason and the coach told me that they would not be making the team. no vale. i played the whole 90 min in i think the second hottest game ive ever experienced. the first being real salt lake. after the game, body hurting, coach says that i have to meet him at the corner of blasco ibanez and manuel candela at 8 am cuz im gonna play with the top team in the club. so woke up early (again) but i was still pretty excited. wow. they were good. i played the second half because the coach knew i had played the day before but this field was unforgiving. might as well played on concrete. and that was one of the fastest games i ever played in. first two times i get the ball i lost it. i improved significantly after i got the feel for the game but i didnt play great. then again nobody played great. we lost 3-2 but we played Crack's cf which is probably the most famous soccer school in Europe. Theyve produced dozens of professional players. Cracks has actually become an accepted term in europa that means superstar. Training tomorrow with the a team.
Today was the first day of work in Picasso-Cafe. I worked from 10-12 in the morning. Quite the experience. To get the job Mary Jose told the boss that i was experienced and there was actually a bidding war for me among the bars in the area. So I was trying to live up to that while attempting to understand what people wanted. I started to get the hang of it. I think there has been worse first days so im satisfied.
im thankful we have no soccer today so my legs can try to heal and i think im gonna study some spanish and probably go to the beach at some point. goodbye for now.

  1. Great talking to you today. Glad the job is going well. I can't imagine bartending when everyone is speaking spanish. It was fun listening to you speak to Ariel in Spanish, not that I could understand anything. Alicante is the name of the place where Neil and Louise's daughter stayed. They said it is beautiful.
