American football!

The day we arrived we went to a American football game. It was Andrea's school's team against another school, called Taylor. None of us had ever seen a American football game, and it was very different than what we are used to here in Norway. As we have mentioned before, everything is bigger in USA, this was no exception! It was filled with people at the stadion, everybody were cheering and it was just like we see in the High School movies!!

Ready for our first American football game!

 

Here you can see the field, the team and some of Andreas friends in front of us. They were very helpful and taught us  the rules. They were all huge fans of Houston Texans which is a football team from Houston, Texas. They are one of the best teams in the proffesional leauge. Jordan, which is the boy with a black shirt, had just met one of the players when he was in El-Paso to visit his family.

 

This is a picture from The Houston Texans website. This is Jordan's favourite player and rolemodel, Quintin Demps.  Jordan told us his biggest dream used to be to meet him, and now that he has accomplished that his dream is to play for Houston Texans," because you get a lot of respect from being a football player", he said. After seeing Andrea's school team play, we understood all the respect. It's a very though sport with a lot of body contact!!
 

After the football game we bought Starbucks coffee before we finished the day off with an hour in the jaccuzzi
