Last night we beat Costa Rica 10-0. After the game we each gave a bag of goodies to the Haitian players; many of them who do not have a home due the earthquake. They also live in the part of the world where people do not have the means to live the kind of life we do. Many people do not have enough food, clothes or shelter.

Instead of Nintendo games, they were asking for colored pencils, clothes and toothbrushes... and look at the smiles on their faces. :) I wish you could have been here to give them something too! :)
Okay, we have played Haiti, the Cayman Islands and Costa Rica
All of them them are in our region which is called CONCACAF.
Isn't it amazing how small these places are? No wonder the soccer isn't quite as good, there are not many people to watch or learn from. All the people we have met have been super polite and friendly. See if you can find the countries we have played on the map in the living room.
Bye for now!
