As most people know, soccer is HUGE in Colombia. Well, it is huge in most parts of the world except the U.S. And the Norwegians and Colombians were very excited about the soccer game today, Colombia vs. Uruguay. They made sure to give Brian a hard time! They are doing their best to turn him into a soccer fan.
Inez, one of the hotel owners, and her staff arranged for a party for all of us (I must mention that now we have 6 families and 9 children). The hotel staff and guest piled into the "TV room" for the game. We were served drinks and snacks. They even got a new flat screen TV! Most everyone was decked out in the Colombian jerseys and colors. It was blast!
The new flat screen. We were all very excited! Oh, btw, Colombia lost.

"Vamos Colombia" -- we heard this a lot.

This really helped to build community here at the hotel. It really has been a great day!
