S-Capades...

Saturday, we enjoyed leafy Thai lunch, and then headed into DC to watch a soccer double-header. The Washington Freedom played first, and we cheered the women on against their Chicago rivals, the Red Stars. 0-0 was the final result, a sleepy 90 minutes of play.

DC United took the field an hour later. We sat in section 336, close to the Barra Brava section of crazy fans...the supporters that stand and cheer and sing and throw their cups of beer in the air when the team scores. Here are a few glimpses of the more civilized moments.

Sunday, Gabriela had a game in the early afternoon. A few hours later, the grown-ups slipped into their gear and once again thumbed our noses at our age playing for a few hours in the heat and humidity. When it was all said and done, we were all sweaty and on the verge of sunstroke. So we we sat around, and cooled off while telling stories.
