village ball


village ball, originally uploaded by ryan linke.

while in ooty i went on two separate treks through the country side. it was a great experience for me. i walked about 40 km in two days and by the end of the second day my legs felt like rubber. on the second trek we came upon a small hindu village where the kids invited us to play soccer. two out of the four side of the field had a ledge so every time the ball went off the ledge they sent some kid running and the game would pause for five minutes. i kept calling it a T.V. timeout which they all found pretty funny. village ball was good times, i quickly became a local legend because i had a hat trick. this was fun for me and i could tell the kids really enjoyed it.
