El Último

I can't believe it has finished already. It seems like yesterday I was arriving to Argentina trying to figure out why the restaurant I was supposed to eat at was closed at 7 pm. I know it's been a long time since I've written my last blog, but I just haven't had the time to just sit down and write it. But now I'm here so let's recap...

We made the playoffs! I had to start it by saying that because it went all downhill from there. We lost the first two games on the road on Wednesday and Friday. We then traveled back home for our must win game on Wednesday. We practiced hard all week but unfortunately we came up short on Wednesday and thus we were eliminated from the playoffs.


I haven't seen my parents since December and some of my friends for almost a year, so needless to say after our season was over I was eager to get home. So eager in fact, that I was ready and willing to leave the next day! But unfortunately my story will end how it began, with airport problems.

Thursday morning my teammate, my manager and I went to the travel agency to change our tickets. The first words out of our mouths were "How soon can you get us home?" Well, it turned out that the earliest that I could leave was Monday. Ugh! Well, it wasn't so bad.



I was able to hang attend the celebration dinner with my teammates on Friday.


Great group of guys!


On Saturday and Sunday I was hung out with a lot of the friends that I made in Río Tercero. At the end of it, I was glad I stayed those extra days.

Finally Monday arrived and it was time to leave, and I was supposed to arrive home Tuesday. Unfortunately, my flight was delayed overnight and I wasn't able to get home until Wednesday. Since then I've been running around visiting family and friends. 



Well, that's it for this year. I hope you all have enjoyed my blog and I thank you all for following it. Until next time.

  1. Great blog! I'm also an American living in Argentina and just discovered it, and loved reading it! Your observations about Argentinian customs are hilarious, and I can totally relate to a lot of them! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences! Are you planning to continue playing in Argentina next year?
