So I've been super busy lately. Lots of papers to write - it takes so long to write in Spanish!!!
Anyway, about a month ago the Spanish national soccer team (World Cup champions!!!!) played a game IN SALAMANCA. Tickets were, of course, ridiculously expensive and impossible to obtain anyway, but there was a huge screen set up in the Plaza Mayor - the whole plaza was filled with fans watching the game. It was literally one of my favorite moments from Spain.
Spain played Lithuania and, of course, crushed them. It was awesome. Here are some pics:

| The World Cup was on display in the Plaza Mayor! |

| with the cup |
 |
| Why is the European Cup so much larger than the World Cup? (yeah, Spain also won this little championship - they kind of dominate) |
 |
| The line to see the world cup wrapped around the entire plaza. People waited in line for hours! |
 |
| The back of my head was in the local paper! |
Next Wednesday Spain plays Portugal - that should be intense!
Big game against Portugal. I'll be watching for the results of that one. Thanks for posting.
