Another weekly community event was the soccer team that was part of the local league. Shandia played against teams from Centro Talag, Bajo Talag, Santa Rosa, Ila Yacu, Serena, 10 de Agosto, and a few others. The winner of the league would then go on to play in the provincial capital of Tena. These games were taken quite seriously and were a lot of fun to watch. The family I stayed with (Cerda Andi) was particularly active in the soccer league. The father, mother, five kids, and daughter in law all played on the top teams. Their second youngest son was on the elementary school team and his little brother was following close behind. I'm sure their youngest daughter will also be a great player some day.
