On Saturday, everyone in Cuenca was wearing yellow in preparation for the world cup quals between Ecuador and Uraguay. We decided that we needed to participate, too.
Elizabeth, Coral, and I bought Ecuador jerserys, and then all six of us went to a sports bar to watch the game. It was hilarious cheering every time Ecuador had a shot on goal, especially as one of the few gringos and one of the few females in the bar. Also, everyone in the streets were yelling about the game. There was almost no traffic with everyone watching TV. The game was pretty good, but Ecuador ended up losing 1-2 in the second overtime.
Afterwards, we went out to dinner at a chifa (Chinese restaurant). It was a bit hard understand the Chinese waitresses speak Spanish, but then we realized that their Spanish is still probably better than ours. Oh well! The food did taste pretty good and helped us feel better about Ecuador´s lost.
