Colo Colo Gano

I´m in a cheap hotel in the center of Santiago for the weekend. There is free (and consistent, which is the problem at home) internet access, so I should be able to catch up on my posting at night. Check back between now and Sunday and there should be new updates.

The event of the day was the ¨Spectacular Triumph of Colo Colo,¨ as one sports show is calling it. The best club futbol team in Chile, Colo Colo, just finished beating the best club team in Argentina, Boca Juniors, by a score of 2-0. It was a huge game, as Boca Juniors is the defending champion for the Copa Libertadores, the South American club futbol championship. When the game ended, you could hear the Colo Colo anthem being sung in every bar and restaurant in the neighborhood.
