Football? Soccer? Whichever to call it, so much bonding took place on the paddie(cow) studded fields of Refugio as we played our nightly games of "pick up" futbol. As the cows looked on, we fashioned our own World Cup here in south Texas with international representatives from Guatemala(Noe), El Salvador(Saoul) and Celo(the rest of us).
Aside from disgruntled cows, rugged landscape, and makeshift goals, what the players feared most was trodding upon the much feared "freshie" in the heat of competition with an auditory 'plop' and the 'ploosh' that followed removal of the foot from the pie. It was these moments that the onloking cows seemed to be wearing a grin.
