Oh noes!

Spain has lost their first game of the World Cup. Spain. The Spain that I am currently living in. 0-1 to Switzerland. Despair set in a little bit, and I was definitely beside myself (for someone who doesn't follow soccer at all...I am quite invested in the World Cup. Not literally, of course, HA). Totally unexpected. Lots of sad faces in that restaurant, and a waiter that kept throwing his arms up and muttering under his breath.

On the bright side...Brazil did well (ish) yesterday, won 2-1 against North Korea. I got to be reunited with my one and only true love, Kaka (number 10). It was a fun game to watch, a bunch of the students from the Universidad Complutense were there with us, so the atmosphere was great.

Now I'm off to see the Carmen flamenco show, after a brief tapas dinner with the group. This will be of consolation after the TRAGEDY of this afternoon's game. Music soothes the savage beasts.
