It's Christmas Day! Today I completed my mission to hoop with locals in every Country visited in South America. This continues my successful run in
Europe 2011 having found a basketball experience in each Country visited there also. In the Candelaria barrio of Colombia's capital Bogotá I hooped with some cool kids. By nightfall we were joined by street performers which made for quite the visual.
After today's effort I'm 6 for 6, having balled in
Chile, Argentina,
Venezuela,
Brazil, Ecuador and Colombia.
Over the months my Spanish has improved, this experience made a little sweeter with the ability to communicate more. I scored a few tips on where to find the best live HipHop, one of the chicos was a Chef so I'm looking forward to sampling his Restaurant.
