Go Santos!

Here's the beginning of a huge, city-wide party that lasted well into the night. The reason? Torreón's soccer team, known as Los Santos, won the national soccer championship last Sunday.

We went to a popular restaurant to enjoy the game and atmosphere. It was a huge event, and right after the Santos won, a mariachi band arrived to celebrate! People ran out into the streets and drove all around town, cheering on their beloved team. Here are some more pictures from the fun-filled afternoon!

Before the game...(our vicar, pictured on the right, looks just like one of the star players on the Santos team! People all over town have commented on the resemblance!)


A little Santos fan, who loved all the cheering...

Santos win!

Hey Rachel! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the post-game activities! Dan and I walked over to Rosita to watch all the cars and people! Talk about excitement! I'm just glad they weren't noisy all night!
