Hooray Cardinals!!!



I am so excited that my hometown Cardinals won the World Series last night!! Most people in Guatemala are interested in soccer only and know very little about baseball. Daniel tried to teach the youngest two boys in our host family about baseball. One of them became bored and left midway through the game. The youngest stayed until the end and stood up cheering with us when the Cardinals won. I think that will be a very special memory for me of our time here -- bridging the cultural gap with baseball, cheering together, and answering questions about the purpose of the St. Louis arch. That was kind of tough question to answer... especially in Spanish!
