Arriba Peru!

---

Saturday we went to the Peru v Paraguay game and it was AMAZING. The crowd was ridiculous and the game was fun to watch. The final score was 0 - 0 (a big disappointment) and Paraguay almost made a goal about 10 times. The peruvian team was pretty lucky.

We had to take a taxi, a bus, and then walk 15 blocks to get into the stadium. We were all decked out in $5 jerseys we had bought along the street on the way in. The crowd was fantastic, singing and screaming non-stop, and lots of flares were set off and air-filled "Arriba Peru" bags (see photo) were being thrown around. The end of the game wasn't so exciting; everyone was pretty disappointed. Overall though, it was soooo much fun and we are definitely going to try and see more in the next few months.
