This last weekend started out with a bang on Thursday night when I got together with these people!
Maria and Jon are two of my best friends from high school. :) They were studying in Madrid for a few weeks with Creighton. So glad we got to see each other and have a little fun along the way!
In other news, on Saturday I went to the last Real Madrid soccer game of the season with three other au pairs. I had never been to a professional soccer game before! (Or I suppose, a "football match.") We were pretty decked out in our gear:
Such an impressive stadium
"Mourinho, thanks for fighting against all odds."
It was manager José Mourinho's last home game in Madrid before he returns to Chelsea.
And Madrid won! Final Score: 4-2
After the great victory, the au pairs and I decided to celebrate in Sol:
We even managed to make some new Canadian friends! The Internet is right: Canadians are very nice!
Best introduction to professional soccer. I'm now officially one of "those people" who think it should be a bigger deal in the States. (Hop on the bandwagon, much?) Anyway, I still can't wait for the World Cup next year to cheer on my team :)
