Real Madrid

Real Madrid is the League Champion! Last night we tried to go to a bar in the Puerta del Sol to watch the match... but they were all packed- out the door packed! So we walked over to another area and watched it, crammed in between packs of life fans. Missed the first half, but caught all 3 goals by Real Madrid. Everyone headed to Plaza de Cibeles to see the whole team (including David Beckham) ride in with glory. The entire city was crazy. Fireworks, cars honking, kids on the metro chanting, and flags everywhere for all hours of the night. They've been touring the city all day, with a posse of fans crowding the streets. It was so fun to see so many people out to watch a soccer game in the hubub of the city and so many crazy fans! Loved it! Definately don't have that experience in the US.
