Ole, ole ole ole

I'm sure the entire North American continent was riveted by last night's Champions League final, right? Well, we were anyway. Since our visit to Barcelona last year when we got to experience the sheer Catalan joy of FC Barcelona fans, we've sort of adopted them as one of the teams we like. Bandwagon? Sure, but at least for a good reason. I actually like Arsenal as well, but last night we both found ourselves pulling for Barça in what turned out to be quite an exciting match. Even Gretchen, who doesn't follow soccer football and goes to bed early most nights, found herself staying up and watching right up to the end, gasping along with every shot. I imagine there are a lot of very tired, very hungover, but very happy people in the great city of Barcelona this morning...
