Ganamos!!!!!

Spain wins! Spain wins! Okay, who am I kidding. You all know that I couldn't care less about soccer. Points for trying? Well, though soccer isn't a big deal in the mind of this little blonde American, it's a HUGE deal here. And in most of the world. Plus my boyfriend loves it. So I'm trying, okay? For the sake of cultural immersion and brownie points. ;)

My roomates and I always said that if Spain made it to the final game, we'd go to the Plaza de Espana in Ferrol to watch it on the big screen. So last night, I found myself in a sea of underage beer drinking smokers, hating one team and desperately loving another. It was a taste of home...haha...I guess Ohioans do the same thing, huh? Except Galicians don't set things on fire, like OSU fans do. :)

Well...it was fun. I enjoyed it, I guess. :) I would have preferred watching it at home, where I could actually see the screen...and actually breathe (everyone smokes!!)...but I was glad to have the opportunity to be with the community when their beloved team won. :)

Oh, and ps...the picture above is of my roomate Kathy from Greece. She borrowed some kid's flag and scarf and asked him to take a picture. The kid and his friends really got a kick out of it. :) And check out this kid...I don't think she likes the fan gear.
