Basketball Frenzy

The highlight of this past week has been our University's basketball tournament. It's a pretty big deal here and very competitive. Both of us got asked to play on the international team. Both of our teams ended up in second place! The tournament took place outdoors on an asphalt court. Playing in this tournament gives a whole new meaning to street ball! We felt the referees needed to watch the NBA a little more. We learned quickly that what is supposed to be a jump ball is a foul, a clean block is sometimes a foul so the person doesn't get embarrassed or loose face. (A lot of these rules don't make much sense but so does a lot of things here :) With all that being said we still had an awesome time and will feel pretty sore for the next week!!
Here's a picture of John extremely happy about his tres leches cake! Our sister in law Sara was so kind to send us everything we needed to make tres leches cake! Thank you so much Sara it was tasty!!!
