Last night I got to be a part of the biggest party I've ever seen! These spaniards know how to get rowdy...
Backdrop: Seville's soccer team just won the european cup, for the second year straight. This hasn't happened since the mid '80's, and by Real Madrid.
The whole town went nuts. We went to the main plaza in town at about 7 because we heard a ton of noise, and everyone was celebrating. Over the next 5 hours, about 15,000 people came to the plaza. They were all singing in unison songs about seville and their team. It was remarkable. Then, at about 12:15 the soccer team came to the plaza and entered the main building in the plaza. They stuck their heads out the 3 main windows and the crowd went nuts. Then they brought out the actual european cup. All in all, it was unforgettable and words can't describe it. Check out my pictures when I get them up and you should see a little of what it was like.
After all that happened, I asked someone if there had ever been a party like this before. He said "Of course, everytime we win man!"
