More football…. Godoy Gruz vs. Rosario
Friday, April 13th, 2007The last weekend in Mendoza was Semana Santa (Easter weekend) so not much was going on. That said we managed to visit some more Bodegas, this time on bikes and some of the smaller more boutique wineries which was really interesting.
On the Sunday there was a local match, the team in the area of town we are staying in is currently playing in the Argentinean first division and that weekend were competing at home. Needless to say I was once again terrified of going, especially having been warned by our hosts that it wasn’t safe. But once again I went along and thoroughly enjoyed it.
We were standing (no such thing as seats here) in the populares stands with the die hard fans and even stood at the sides it was a terrifying experience with all of the singing and drumming and general craziness. But fun, I think! I don’t really know how to describe it at the moment, need to let it sink in i think, and I will post some photos and video to show you the atmosphere. But boys, you would have loved it I’m sure and Wendy should be proud of my bravery!!
p.s. We have of course managed to find a TV for every Liverpool champions league match out here too, dedicated girlfriend of or what!!
