Yesterday evening after dinner, the team went for a stroll through the nearby park (with a walking police escort). The girls walked around a bit before reaching the giant temporary stage set up on the far end of the park. The Chile Reality Festival was a collection of local talent - from traditional dancers, to a 12-piece band that played disco hits, to hip-hop dancers to cheerleaders.
Needless to say, the American girls were a big hit with the local crowd. Though none of the players speak Spanish, they quickly made friends with a group of high school-aged girls, teaching them variations of the high five.
Event organizers quickly took notice of the Americans as they took a lot of photos and signed some autographs. So they did what any smart event organizer would do - called them onstage. The players went up on stage to a great ovation and then individually introduced themselves.
