community, undoubtedly the best when it comes to sports. Yesterday, the quarterfinal series of the Venezuelan Professional Basketball Super League (SPB) began, with Guaiqueries de Margarita facing Trotamundos de Carabobo in a best-of-seven series.
It had been a few years since I'd enjoyed a live basketball game, but tonight I decided to go with some friends. I must admit it was difficult because we were a bit far away, but we enjoyed it immensely, and not only because of Guaiqueries' second consecutive victory with a close score. Now they move on to Trotamundos' home court, where they will try to stay alive and bring the series back to the Ciudad de la Asunción Gymnasium.
I was definitely pleasantly surprised by the large crowd that came out to support the Guaiqueries de Margarita. My fellow Hivers, it was truly enjoyable to see a live game again. I hope they can advance and that I have the chance to enjoy another game. One detail I can't overlook is that I hardly know any of the players—maybe three or four between the two teams—but that didn't stop me from enjoying a completely different experience from what I'm used to.
I'll sign off by thanking the
