RED. All I see is RED.  The color that has taken over Mendoza.  The color RED for CHILE. Chileans. Everywhere.  With their accents, which I do not understand a thing of, (even though they are, apparently, speaking the same language as I do), their flags, their Americanized fashion, and their passion for their futbol team.

It’s great.  I love fans.  But not when they disrupt my siesta-time or my mediatarde.  Not when they consume everything that is the city I live in.  Not when they begin to throw rocks at our school children. Not when the guys fight over our Argentinean guys over who has the better-looking women. I mean, seriously?  I was told that futbol can take the worst out of some people, but I never believed it would be this bad. RED. Ugh.

K bye.
