A Sporting Event : 11



2-26-94
Last night we went to watch a handball game.  It was really cool.  The game is a cross between water polo and basketball.  They play on a concrete court similar to a soccer field, but smaller (size of basketball court).  They handle the ball, dribbling and passing much the same as in basketball, but they shoot with one arm into a net like in H2O polo, and there is a goalie.  It was exciting to watch, but the part I liked best was the drums.  Both teams had their own indian drum section beating out pulsating rhythms, it gave it all such an exciting, ritualistic atmosphere.

Tonight I'm going to a fiesta de disfraz--a costume party.  I'm excited, it will be fun.  I'm going as a baby.  Day before yesterday I got really sick, food poisoning, it was pretty horrible, but yesterday I was fine.  I just needed to get it out of my system.
