My Life in Argentina and Beyond

Wednesday, October 24, 2007: Late yesterday afternoon, The Pumas, the Argentine Wonder Rugby team was taken from their hotel on Calle Carlos Pellegrini in downtown Buenos Aires to the Casa Rosada. There was a crowd outside Hotel Panamericano and TV cameras as well as lots of security. The President of Argentina personally congratulated the guys on being chosen the third best Rugby team in the world. The players wore grey suits and shiny pink ties. They signed autographs for their fans before boarding the huge bus taking them to the President. People took pictures of them with their cell phone cameras.
