For Cory's 39th Birthday we celebrated by going into Montevideo for a Futbol game. Uruguay vs. Paraguay in a 2010 World Cup Qualifier. Uruguay won 2-0! It was amazing to see a Futbol game in South America. The fans were crazy. At one point all the Uruguaian fans were jumping in unison saying something in Spanish. There were alot of police there in full riot gear and the Paraguay fans could not leave the game until all the Uruguay fans were gone. There were a few Paraguay fans in our section and they received a police escort after the game. Everyone had flags either draped over them or waving them in the air. This is definetly a highlight of the trip!
