Un partido de Basquetbol

Who knew that Mexico had its own professional league of basketball? I sure didn't.


A couple weeks ago I went to my first Mexican basketball game. It is not everynight that something so exciting is going on here in Fresnillo, so this was a special treat. The most expensive seats costed 40 pesos (or $4.00), but we opted for the 20 peso seats ($2.00). I don't think you can even get into a highschool basketball game for that cheap in the states.

I went with my friends Gus, Arika and Arika's brother Nestor. It was a good time and I think we all a learned a lot that night and laughed a ton. I don't think I have ever made so many mistakes that could be interpreted wrong in Spanish as I did that night. I also learned that the Mexicans get pretty into their games. Even the coaches were a little out of control.
