La Copa Mundial






Yesterday (Tuesday) was a busy day, with class all morning and the afternoon free. In the evening, my friends and I walked to El Corte Ingles, which is a huge department store you'll find in all major Spanish cities. Outside the store, in a big plaza, they have a great big screen that they broadcast the World Cup on, and there's food stands too. We went there, and there were tons of people, all dressed in red and yellow, the colors of the Spanish flag, of course. The game began at 8:30, and there were people of all ages, from little babies to older abuelas, and a lot of young people. It was crazy! Spain won, scoring one goal, and the crowd just went nuts. El futbol is a really big thing here.
Today I've been in a conference all day, and I may go to a Flamenco show tonight. I'll keep you updated!
