Mexico Day 1

Ridiculously early on Sunday (6/21) we flew to Long Beach, CA. Got to relax on the beach a little while waiting for our friendly. The field we played on was like a hockey rink but outdoors and with a nice turf. The team we played was coached by a friend of a friend of Dave Irby. It was a very relaxed and fun match. We talked with the other team about soccer and life before during and after the game. They were younger so we didn’t play super intense to keep the game fun.

We drove across the border to Hanks house. Hank is a friend of Dave Irby who owns some sort of rubber-washer company. He has the biggest house I’ve ever seen, as in multi-million and could be on cribs. I suppose it wasn’t the house itself that was so big, but the complexity. The house was build on the side of a steep hill overlooking Tecate, so it was tiered along with the yards, pools and patios down the hillside. Hank had to leave the country for a while because of some death threats. He’s back now with a security guard and cars with bullet-proof glass. We ate some of the best tacos I’ve ever had from the chef he hired that day.
