I arrived in Aguas Calientes, Mexico this morning where I rented a car and drove to San Juan de Los Lagos where the Amputee Soccer World Cup Qualifier for the CONCACAF region is being held. The journey was not without drama. To start, I was robbed at the airport. Mexican customs charged me $220 as an import tax on my drone. Next, I had to wait one hour while my rental car was being “fueled”? Finally, Google Maps guided me to my hotel by way of the pedestrian-only square surrounding the main cathedral here. Once I entered the area, it was impossible to back out and I had to drive ahead at about 1/2 mph until I found an exit. Very embarrassing. Still, it was all worthwhile. I joined Nicolai for the opening ceremony which featured many traditional Mexican dances and costumes, singing, acrobatics, and pyrotechnics. Nicolai was introduced with the other team captains from Mexico, El Salvador, Haiti, and Costa Rica.
