More news from Spain

Jul 17, 2006

More on the soccer game:

Three of the boys and one of the girls played a 4-on-4 game with members of the Spanish club. Out of 10 teams our delegates won! Then they formed a larger USA team vs. a team from Spain to play a game -- first team to score 5 goals wins. Our team was up 4-0. Then they claim they got tired and Spain came back to win. However the Spanish players said our delegates were "dramaticallly good surprisingly". I guess USA soccer is coming along! There were no reports of any signing bonuses offered to our delegates....

And more about the Spanish sights:
Loved Toledo, enjoyed Madrid -- Spain's capital is cosmopolitan and traditional at the same time. The El Prado Museum is amazing. Wished we had more walking time in the Plaza Major. Today we are at Zaragoza, the capital of Aragon, and it is a very beautiful city. Tomorrow we visit Barcelona, the Ramblas and the beach! One thing I miss: Mom's cooking!!!
