Pápa Lombard Won!

Pápa Lombard won! Yes, the soccer team won a game!

We went to a very special game last night at the Pápa stadium. Our local Pápa team played against a team fro Gyor. Boeing made it possible for Boeing employees and guests to attend the game for free.

After arriving at the stadium, we chose seats in the front row and settled in for a great game. Dusty predicted, before the game began, that Pápa would win! It was an exciting game, full of great plays and a cheering crowd. Pápa scored the first goal shortly after half-time. Then, with only 3 minutes left, Gyor scored their first point. In the very last moments of the game, Pápa scored their final winning shot.

Cheerleaders graced the field during half time and danced. We learned from a local Hungarian that this was his first time seeing cheerleaders at a game. It appears that cheerleaders may now be a new addition to Hungarian Soccer.

Night Out in Pápa

Last night we went to our first "football" game of the season at the local stadium. Pápa played a good game but didn't pull through with a victory. Absolutely beautiful weather shown down on the stadium though and we were able to enjoy wearing short sleeves!! Finally the arctic-cold has passed away and Spring has sprung.

After the game we met up with friends at Griffs and enjoyed chicken Doner Kabobs!! It has been far too long since we enjoyed a nice Doner and they were terrific! Ice cream is back to town with the warm weather, so we walked across the street and ordered two cones of double-scooped mint 'n chip. We had just spoken two days earlier about how much we missed mint 'n chip, so we were super excited to dive into our cones! This was the first time we had seen mint 'n chip in Pápa. Last summer we enjoyed it, in gelato form, in Florence, Italy and it was incredible!

With the warmer weather and longer days, Spring could not have come any sooner!! Good bye winter, see you again next year in CA!
