We returned from La Selva in enough time to catch the beginning of the Superbowl. My tica dad is an American, so there was no way that he was going to miss the Superbowl. My mama tica did not have exactly the same appreciation for fútbol americano, but she watched it with us too along with my tica sister and my friend Melissa. My host parents made us amazing Nachos too! Unfortunately, the Superbowl for Costa Rican viewers was broadcasted from a Mexican station. That meant, no American Superbowl commericals. In fact, due to the lack of commerical breaks, I knew that my Steelers had lost way before everyone in Pennsylvania.
It was definitely funny to watch the Superbowl in Spanish. Instead of calling it the Superbowl, they called it the Super Tazon which literally translates super bowl (that you use for cereal). They called the Packers los Pacadores and the Steelers, los acereros. Acero means steel in spanish. Overall, it was a very fun night despite the fact that my Steelers did not win. There's always next year! On Monday, my host dad made sure that I got to see all of the commercials via youtube :)
