Basketball Cancelled due to... RAIN!

Unfortunately, our first 2 basketball games have been cancelled due to rain! I don't think I've ever experienced that in the states before! Thursday we loaded the bus with the Infantil (7th-8th grade) boys team and headed to Del Campo. They have two courts so we could play at the same time, but... they're outside and were covered with water. As we waited and someone started to sweep water off an incredibly slippery court, the rain started to fall again. We decided to postpone the game to a later date. Meanwhile, the bus driver had dropped us off and left! It's normal that one drops us off and another picks us up. However, we couldn't get another bus driver right away so we hung out at Del Campo for an hour and a half! The players totally made the most of it. I taught them the tip drill, we did some ball handling, and then they started a boys vs. girls game on the wet court. Today, there was forecasted a tropical storm to hit this morning in the city. The school we were going to play cancelled yesterday and our athletic director decided to cancel practices as well so that the students in the city didn't have to travel. I'm not sure what the weather is like down there... but here on the mountain we've had rain almost all morning. It's just starting to stop. It doesn't seem too bad- just overcast. We'll see! The weather here changes so quickly sometimes!
