Sonia and I were at our meeting place at 12:30 to walk to the team to get out to Kazan Arena for the soccer game.would you believe it, shortly after we get on, the conductor starts announcing something about the compressor. Obviously something is happening, but I’m not catching the whole thing. When we got halfway to the stadium and they kicked us all off the tram, then I got it. I also got that we should hold onto our tickets and show it on the next tram that comes by and we would get to the stadium. It’s nice to understand enough to get by.
The Arena wasn’t even one quarter full. Yes, it was cold, about freezing, but we were warmly dressed. The game was really stinky. Neither time had a decent attack. Everybody was just bunched up in the middle field , kicking it back and forth. Moscow scored a goal right before halftime and that was it for the entire game. The highlight, however, was when the Kazan goalie held a penalty kick right before the end of the game. He was superb. He was also the outstanding g player during the last match we saw. Maybe they don’t have more spectators because they have a lousy team. Geez, we’lol have to try basketball again.
We got shoehorned into the tram again on the ride back. We got off at our stop and quickly went to the Mexican restaurant. The waitress knows us by now. The food was xcellent, as usual. I tried tomato soup this time in addition to my burrito. Everything is so fresh. It tastes amazing. But even this place serves the food as it is ready, not waiting to bring everyone’s meal out together. We played Jenga while we waited and sat there for a long time. There were a couple of college students in there who started speaking English with us. They are from a state to the south of Tatarstan and are studying here in Kazan.
Now I’m just chilling and will get things ready for school in a few minutes. I plan on going to the pool tomorrow. I’ve been told a bathing cap and Flipflops are required. Oh, geez. I’ll let you know how that goes.
