…another Pumas playoff game!  While they lost the game 2-1, they won the home-and-away with Puebla, and advance to the championship this coming week–more excitement, more Goyas, and more paper beer cups flying through the air.

Best of all, I brought my totally sweet 74 peso camera (film and battery included!) and snapped a bunch of photos.  These, along with a whole lot more of the final week of celebration, should be showing up soon, assuming the film works…
