Spain....day 3

Today I went with Paquita y Elias to a tournament with all of their friends for a game called "Bolos Leones". This is a game that is sort of like outside bowling with half of a ball and instead of just knocking down the pins, you also need to roll the ball around the pins.
It's quite a complicated game and even more complicated to score. After watching the men play the game, it was the ladies turn. Paquita added my name to the list of players and we started the game!





















After we played the game, it turns out that I tied for 2nd place with a woman named Anna and we needed to have a tie breaker in order to find out who got 2nd and who got 3rd place. So we played a tie breaker round and.........we tied again!! So we needed to have another tie breaker round and.....she won and I lost so I ended up with 3rd place in the tournament! After that, we had a awards ceremony where they presented me with a special trophey so that I wouldn't go home empty handed since they really only had trophies for 1st and 2nd place. It was so special and cute!












Luis, the husband of Paquita and Elias' eldest daughter, just sent me this newspaper clipping that includes me! I can't believe it and was so happy when I saw that they included a little blurb about me!
