While we were travleing in South America I remembered that the NCAA March Madness Tournament was about to begin. We
began watching the first round of the games in Buenos Aires, Argentina in our hostel on my Dad´s iPad. We were lucky that we could watch the game thanks to a new app for apple products called NCAA March Madness on Demand. It was hard to hear and watch the games beacuse there was alot of noisy young adults at the hostel. Another reason
it was hard to watch the game was, alot of people were useing the free WiFi wich was causing slow internet for everyone in the hostel. Most of the time we managed to just get the scores and not able to watch the game. Nearing the end of the tournament we were in Cusco, Peru in another hostel. That was where the sad thing happened, Duke lost to Arizona by 12 points. On the other hand Butler, and the WiFi, was doing alot better.

Happily watching the game. |
After a few days in Cusco we watched the Final Four in Ayacucho, Peru at our friends the Woods. Luckily they had a projector wich hooked up to the computer to watch the games. We were so excited! The first games were VCU vs. Butler and UK vs.UConn, we dicided to watch VCU vs. Butler. We had a great conection and we could see and hear the game very well.

Another game day. |
Two more days went by and the final game was UConn vs. Butler. I was so eager to set up the game. I got everything out that I knew we needed to watch the game. Then our friend Mr.Wood helped me plug in all the cables and we were ready to go. Again the game had a great singnal and good sound. We weren´t happy with how the game turned out, Butler lost, but we were happy with the projector, good sound, and good conection.

I am glad next year we don't have to watch the games on a tiny iPad screen because we will be home.

At the Wood's house, just like home. |
Marne, your four boys look incredibly reserved in this photo. That is not how I remember that night. Seems to me there was a lot of cheering, hooting, hollering and booing. Obviously a lot of fun had by all. Walt
