Sports

In USA there are a lot of sports and everybody follows them. I was surprised by the fact that womenare also interested in them.

During the time we were there, the sports that were taking place were american football and baseball. In these two sports, Boston has two very good teams: New England Patriots (that is the current champion of american football) and the Red Sox (which are in the final playoffs of baseball)

There, the national sport is the baseball, everybody follows it and so, me too.

The Red Sox met the New York Yankees in the semi-final, these teams are eternal rivals, and this became the main theme of conversation for the Americans and for us, the Spanish. After six exciting matches the seventh one and definitive arrived just the day before living. The Red Sox won and every-one was happy. Now to wait for them to win the final.

Apart from the baseball which I followed it by the T.V.I have to say and thank you to the family, I went to the Celtics stadium and I could watch a pre-season basketball match. It was a good experience, although It was not a very good match.

And if this was little, I also saw play baseball, american football and field hockey to the american family´s children who were very sporting.

So I satiated me of sports and I didn´t mind it because sports are my favourite hobby.

I also have to write that I missed to practice sports. Teachers had said to us and I hoped that, after the classes we would make some sport activities but it couldn´t be. It doesn´t matter.
