I lived in Spain for a year and a half as a missionary, and it was actually in Spain that I gained my love for soccer--o sea, futbol. I had the opportunity to go to a Real Madrid game in 2000 when i lived there. It was a Eurocup match against Frankfurt, if I remember correctly. We sat on the 16th row and ate bocadillas and cheered with all the other crazy fans. It was a lot of fun and something I will never forget!
So....felicidades España! I can only imagine the parties that went on in Spain to celebrate. Madrid has been called "the city that never sleeps" and I can attest to that! I'm sure that the parties continued all week long and maybe are even still going on. What I would've given to have been back to celebrate with a country and people that I love and miss so much! Viva España! http://gu.com/p/2tbeb
Yes, we were able to go to a profession soccer match and a bull fight. I never ended up going to a bull fight, though!
ReplyDeletePres. Clark didn't let us go. You got lucky and went to one before he came in.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for your blog! I love your background and header! It's a little sad that the World Cup is over though and we have to wait 4 more years! It was fun, and cool for you that Spain won!
