World Cup

Summer in Spain in fun. Summer in Spain during the World Cup is even better. I definitely don't think that this summer would've been the same if we weren't here during a World Cup year. Often times, our daily schedules, and even our class schedules, revolved around watching these games. But better yet - better than postponing night class just so we could watch soccer games - was experiencing how something as simple as an international sport tournament could bring all different types of people from every corner of the world together.

The most memorable World Cup experience I had was watching a Mexico game with a group of Mexican friends from our program at a sports bar in Madrid. It was packed with Mexico fans. It was rowdy, it was loud, it was crazy. But the comradely created between so many complete strangers through one common interest was amazing.
