Victory!

It was a victory for Spain in the world cup against Madrid last night. (Towards the end of the game I was actually cringing thinking that no one would score!)Since I had nothing remotely close to looking like a Spanish world cup fan I bought a Spanish flag in a souvenir shop and made it into a small dress. It was my way of showing my pride in the crazy streets of Madrid (& they were completely hectic!). I also died when I saw the Louis Vuitton case that held the World Cup trophy. Spain can have the trophy but can I keep the case?! Congrats to Spain!


 Fue una victoria para España en la Copa del Mundo contra el Madrid la noche anterior. (Hacia el final del juego en realidad estaba pensando rastrera que nadie cuenta!) Como no tenía nada remotamente cercano a mirar como un abanico copa del mundo español compré una bandera española en una tienda de recuerdos y la convirtió en un pequeño vestido. Era mi manera de mostrar mi orgullo en las calles locura de Madrid (y que eran completamente agitado!). Felicidades a España!
