I never knew relationship I would develop with ESPN deportes would grow so strong. Who knew that a Spanish sports channel could do so much for a kid who grew up in Boise…

Anybody that has ever been to Boise, Idaho, knows that city’s nickname, “City of Trees,” only applies to a 100 foot-wide section that follows Boise River through middle of city. The rest of city looks more like set of a John Wayne movie – dry, sage-brush covered, and dry. So I felt right at home in high mountain desert of Puebla, Mexico, where I lived for two years. Although I love being back in America, there are a few things I miss about Mexico. Here are four things I miss and a few of things that make me feel better.

Growing up playing soccer, I thought I was pretty hot stuff. In Mexico, I was mediocre at best. It was a pretty humbling experience first time I played with a group of 12-year-olds and they literally ran circles around me. I’ll never forget rush of standing in middle of 45,000 ecstatic soccer fans singing in unison to support their team, which happened to be ranked last place in entire country. You just can’t get soccer like that in America. In fact, you can hardly get any soccer at all. To watch World Cup I had to wake up at 2:00am every morning, but I counted myself lucky because they were actually showing soccer on TV. For any soccer fans out there who are disappointed with regular TV’s offering of soccer games, you’ve got to check out ESPN deportes. Even if you don’t speak Spanish, soccer coverage is worth it.

I’m not much of a musician myself, so there is no way anybody would ever pay for me to dress up in a black, sequin-covered suit and sing at top of my lungs to their loved ones. I miss talented musicians in mariachi bands who wooed young lovers and venerated great-grandparents. Walking down street on Valentine’s Day almost always guaranteed at least one free concert, and most nicer restaurants featured their own in-house bands. The only time I didn’t want mariachi band to play in restaurant was when my Camoteros were playing on ESPN deportes.
