barcelonians are craaazy about their futbol

So last night Barcelonaś futbol (soccer) team won some tournament. I went with some people staying at my hostel to check out the celebrating. It. Was. Insane. We went to Las Ramblas at Playa Catalunya and basically just watched the craziness for awhile. Lots of flares being lit and danced with (like a very dangerous glowstick), fireworks being set off, and people breaking stuff. We eventually went and found a bar that was pretty big once you got inside but the entrance looked like it be a small tunnel or something. It was pretty fun. I had two nice spanish men tell me I had beautiful eyes at that bar. My response - gracias of course! (My high school spanish has slowly been resurfacing.) After the bar we went to a club (after a short run from la policia - don't worry we weren misbehaving) and danced until 6am. All in all a pretty solid night. I am glad that I was in town to see what itś like after a futbol game - it was quite the experience. My friends from the hostel were all really fun too; they were from Spain, Berlin, New Zealand, Illinois, Texas, and Quebec and even included one of the receptionists from the hostel - she was our fearless leader for the night.

In a few hours I board the train for Paris and will get there in the morning. Adios amigos!

  1. Wow... that sounds like quite the night there little lady. I would be jealous, except us married folk would NOT find dancing like a crazy person until 6am any bit appealing... I stayed up til midnight watching a movie. Similar story I think :)

    Glad you're having fun !!!

  3. Aunt Dawn said - Glad to see you made it safely and that your High School Spanish is slowly coming back. I don't know any spanish (I know German), except Cerveza(sp?), so I will need you're help when we're there. I will also need to know how & what to pack!! Can hardly wait to see you and keep posting the pictures and what you are doing every day. It's great to see!
