The Fun Grind Continues on a Taco Tuesday in CDMX


Tuesday, December 3, 2019

Let's begin this post with some of the fine pictures that our Team Photographer, Sue Valdivia, took at Monday night's practice.

Sue Valdivia is
AWESOME!

The game is now only
four days away!

Today's schedule

Before practice and, really everyday, should start with a nutritious breakfast. Thus, I set out early in search of another solid meal.

This guy juggling was part of the
show that is CDMX

I love cities that boast of organized chaos and Mexico City definitely qualifies.

EUREKA!
I found just the right spot!

Now, THAT"S a proper breakfast!

All for only $2 USD too.

Now it was on to the morning practice.

Only three names on the plaque for
the American football Hall of Fame

Now, THAT'S a high hurdle!

Yet another BEAUTIFUL day
for American football!

. . . DEEP!

A little morning team work

Our Mexican contingent

These ladies have been invaluable to our team's efforts. We were a little low on numbers when we left Europe and these ladies have been a great asset to us as they filled out our roster.

OL Marisol Samperio and
Daniela Prudente

By the way, Marisol is Daniela's Mother.

Great t-shirt worn by
OL Varena Menzel

After a solid morning tune-up, the coaching staff opted to do more research on the local cuisine.

Mariscos was the call today

Lots of mariscos as it turned out

In a show of staff unity we all shared these delicious seafood specialties.

One-on-Ones in the afternoon

We had a lengthy scrimmage
tonight which showed a lot of promise

After practice, we handed out the game jerseys and other swag to the team.

Interesting jersey design

In case you are in CDMX on Thursday,
come by our Media Day

So, after two good days that included four practices, I must say that I am having the time of my life! It is so great to be around such highly motivated players and coaches who have a passion for our great game.

This team truly have made every day so far a BEAUTIFUL day for American football for me!

Meanwhile, back in Varese, Italy . . .

Our Varese Skorpion U16 team finished
with a perfect 6-0 record!

Nows it's on to the playoffs for them, CONGRATULATIONS!

As for our 0-6 U19 team,
it's on to next year
