We went to an Ayacucho F.C. soccer (fútbol) game on Saturday! We got the cheap seats, so the view wasn’t great, but soccer games in foreign countries are crazy regardless. At one point there was a (unintentional) fire in the stands due to celebration fireworks, and at halftime, the three referees were escorted off the field by nine cops in riot gear… Soccer fans are bit crazier down here, that’s for sure.
At the fútbol game!
(We bought hats so we would "fit in")
Little girl trying to get a better view...
Dangerous, but I can't blame her.
The Ayacucho F.C. mascot, "Inti Gas Man", haha.
We assumed that "Inti Gas" was the team's big sponsor.
These little boys just sat right down next to us and started talking.
Inti Gas (i.e. Ayacucho) lost the game. :(
Below is unrelated to the soccer game, but I've been meaning to post pictures of these little "Moto Taxis" that Ayacucho has about a million of. They're insane. It only costs one Sol to get from our house to the Plaza in one of these things, but you feel like you're going to die the whole time. They fit maximum three people, rattle violently as if they're going to fall apart, and for whatever reason, all their drivers motor around like maniacs... Even when up against a double decker bus. Scary!
