La Copa Mundial

So I accidentally put my blogs a little out of order but either way on Thirsday we started just as any other Thursday with classes at El Sol. We continued with the subjunctive learning about when to use it when giving recommendations. This was something that I had done before already in my Spanish classes at Northeastern so it wasn't that bad of a lesson for me. Then in culture class we went over briefly the fight for Independence of Peru which involves a lot of military men arguing over who gets to rule.

  The unusual part of this Thursday was that it was the start of the World Cup in South America. So we actually had the afternoon off to go watch the first game in Parque Kennedy. The people and bars around the park were all very excited and decorated.

 The game was Brazil vs. Croatia and the first goal was by Brazil but against themselves! The Brazilan team made up for their mistake though and came back to win 3-1. Not only was it a great game to watch it but it was also a great cultural experience to see all the Peruvians get as excited as they were when their team wasn't even in the cup!
