My home for the next few weeks will be at Calzada Alamos 123, Colonia Ciudad Granja. I live in an apartment behind a gated compound owned by Juan Jose Cardenas. The compound includes the house he shares with his wife along with another home that is occupied by his nephew and his family. The area is completed with a wonderful soccer pitch that is around 60-70 yards long. I am hoping that after these three weeks I will be ready to take on the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup. I plan on recording my progression as a 'jugador de futbol' and sharing the video footage with Bob Bradley. What I find most interesting about my home in Guadalajara is that each night two massive German Shepherds are let out of their daylong cages to guard the property. No two animals would be scarier to encounter in the late hours of the night. Hopefully, on a night I come home after they are let to roam, they do not mistake me for an intruder. I am going to make sure to make them my friends by giving them treats while they are secured in their kennel.
