July 12

Worked in the morning, met a crew from Wisconsin. They were Packers fans. They didn't like Brett Favre. One was on the waiting list for Packers season tickets- he still has a lot of waiting to do. A few days ago, I met a crew from the south-of-Pittsburgh area. They were happy to see another Pennsylvanian and were surprised I knew their area (Washington, Uniontown, etc.).

After work, I played soccer. I was very out of breath at first. Then I realized- so was everyone else. It was a great game and I felt awesome afterward. I don't think I've played soccer since fall 2008. After the game, we all went for free cobbler and ice cream nearby. It was probably one of the best nights I've spent on base camp so far.
