volleyball in Gonzalo Pizzaro

Went to play volleyball Ecuadorian style in a small section of earth in Tonsupa called Gonzalo Pizzaro. I actually was supposed to volunteer here on the outset of this trip, but due to lack of organization that didn´t happen. Anyway, the rain actually held off long enough to play, but the mud was ever prevelent. It was actually the dirtiest game I have ever played! And, sad to mention that I think it wasn´t only dirt and water in that mud mixture...
My team didn´t win, however, I did not care. I never even knew the score and was happy for it to be over. We trenched our way home through muddy street battleing moquitoes along the way as has been the steady trend. The shower afterward, although cold as usual, felt refreshing. OH! I learned afterward that I was supposed to pay 50cents because they always play for money. I didn´t pay on principal because, one, no one told me up front, and I would not have agreed to play for anything on that mud.
