Ute Trip Rewind: Finally to the Beach and Back to Argentina


Well, after the game and barbecue hosted by the Uruguayan team yesterday. We headed to the beach. The players were very excited to finally get to work on their tans. They had been talking about it since we left Salt Lake City. A few of them played a pick up game of soccer in the sand with some local guys. Our tour guide, Dario Stawski, joined in and helped the girls kick some behind.

Dario has done a fantastic job of working to make this a once in a lifetime experience. Dario is from Argentina. However, he played college soccer in New York at Adelphi University. And he lived in Miami for five years after that. Thanks, Dario!

After the beach, we took the boat back to Buenos Aires. The weather turned ugly and the boat ride was very bumpy. We didn't get back to the hotel until 1:30 in the morning.
