Spain is going wild

[aviator]

3am last night they were still celebrating on Madrid's main plaza bells. whistles, horns and everything. Today there are probably 100K people congregated at the main road Alcala street in downtown Madrid going crazy. They take soccer really seriously. It's 9 pm there now

They'll throw a party for every saint and virgin and stop work, eat drink and have fun whenever possible. My son got stuck there on Holy Week and said it was crazy. He was carried by the mass of people, next he knew he was inside a church and everybody was wearing a suit and tie and here is this gringo guy in jeans and a polo shirt. His Spanish ain't great but he can communicate.

I took my wife and youngest daughter to the airport this morning for a flight to Spain to meet up with my UF teacher daughter that is already over there with some of her students. My teacher daughter went there last summer to do a recon for this year's trip. My granddaughter is with her so they should have a good time together. My wife has been planning this trip for a year and has been studying Spanish for a year with a friend from the gym who is from Spain.
I decided not to go, I'm too beat up. I'm happy here with my dog and granddog and plenty of projects to finish.

Fuck Spain. I have my reasons for hating that country. And fuck their obsession with soccer. That goes for the rest of Europe as well.

Well...food is good, wine is good. They don't really like Americans but like any other country if you try to communicate in their language even if it's just a few words they'll treat you right. My son was in the South of Spain a few months ago and said he was treated like shit there, He may have to go back a few times, work related stuff.
