GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!
(Marry me Aaron Rodgers!)
Before I watched the Packers play an incredible game, I was heading to Dakar on Saturday morning. It was smooth sailing all the way into Dakar so I shockingly made it to our softball game on time. We played well but were no match for a team of 10 and 11 year old titans who speedily and skillfully kicked our butts. I think I'd normally find this incredibly embarrassing, but with WAIST only 2 weeks away, the games are really just for fun at this point. We headed to the American Club afterwards to grab lunch and relax. That night the girls and I went out for Korean barbecue which was delicious and only made better by the atrociously tacky wallpaper lining our private dining room.
The next day we headed downtown to grab lunch at a place with wifi and waste away most of the afternoon (I was mostly day dreaming about a Super Bowl win). After making a delicious Mexican vegetable feast for a late dinner and making a veggie tray for the game, we headed over to the Marine's house. We assumed that we would awkwardly be the only people bringing any sort of snack, but it turned out to be a bumpin' party with tons of people and food. The Marines had a huge projection screen set up in order to watch the game and it felt just like being in America. Admittedly, I had a great time chatting with Steelers fans and running around the room like a crazy person whenever we scored. What a game. It was absolutely incredible to actually be able to cheer on my team from all the way over here. I only wish I could have been sitting next to my Dad to watch our team win - but seeing it live still made my weekend.
After struggling to get out of bed after only a few hours of sleep yesterday, the girls and I went out for an early lunch and then Alyssa, Emily, and I caught a car back to Thies. I felt totally worthless and out of it most of the day today, but I did manage to have a lot of fun teaching my Junior Achievement class this afternoon. Today we talked about unit vs. chain production and the students split up into teams to make fake beignets out of paper in order to show which production method was better. It was really cute to watch them get super competitive.
That's all for now. Sending happy thoughts back home to Wisconsin and the green and gold!
