So I'm sitting at my internship....boss left and I have to read the Civil Code of Spain...which is a little tough to say the least. So what do I do instead? BLOG! yay! hahah enjoy:
Wednesday the 10th the Trinity program treated us to a night at Camp Nou, the ever-famous soccer (fútbol) stadium in Barcelona! It was Barca v. Ceuta which apparently wasn't a very big game - only about 1/3 of the stadium was filled (which was still nothing to scoff at considering the amount of people that actually is haha). This also is in comparison to the game tonight which is Barca-Madrid - needless to say I'm pretty sure all of Barcelona is going to shut down around 10 pm tonight because everyone will be glued to the television.
ANYWAY. We met at this little bar near Les Corts and got some tapas before braving the cold and heading out to the game! It didn't even start until 10 pm, which for me was crazy! It was quite funny to see people trying to sneak in with beers and food from the outside - one guy literally tried to jump the turnstyle with the guard right in front of him...epic fail. haha
We managed to score better seats in the front row of the first balcony which was super cool and we were right in front of the Ceuta goal, so we had a pretty good view of everything that was going on. Within the first 5 minutes, Barca scored, and that was pretty much it for Ceuta. They scored once but Barca kind of buried them 4-1. It was a really fun game, there were fans right below us who came SUPER prepared with flags and drums and all that stuff, and at times they were more entertaining to watch than the game haha.
Barca won (obviously) and everyone was quite happy leaving the stadium...except me. Because before my eyes I saw thousands of people running to the metro and knew it was going to be a COMPLETE mad house...but with not other option, I braved the crowds and somehow pushed my way into the sardine can that was the metro car and made it home by 1 am. On a school night. I was dead the next morning.
Hahah anyways, it was quite a good time despite the crazy metro! Hope to get back there before I leave :)
Next up: Cook and Taste!
