My chariot to/from the game
Tonight I went to my first Spanish futbol game. Spaniards are CRAZY about their futbol teams, and everyone has a team that they are immensely devoted to. In Sevilla, there are 2 teams: Sevilla Futbol Club and Betis. And obviously there is a fierce rivalry between the two. The game tonight was between Sevilla Futbol Club and RCD Espanyol de Barcelona. Although the game ended in a tie, it was so much fun to be there with a packed stadium, listening to the constant roar of the crowd. There isn't a play that goes by without lots of cheering, shouting, and singing from the crowd. And to top the night off, I got to cruise around Sevilla on a shiny red Vespa...don't worry Dad - I wasn't driving, and I was wearing a helmet! :)

As my Spanish friends say, this is where the "hooligans" sit...
