On May 18, Bernard and I departed the ol' USA for España, in pursuit of 5 weeks of Spanish summer sauntering. We had a loose agenda that held no fear of change, and with that comfort, we ambled along. Landing in Madrid on my birthday, we initiated what would become habitual siestas, wine, cheese, jamón, and aimless city explorations. Palacio Real, artistic refugee demonstrations, sunsets. We paella-ed with a family friend at the beautiful Plaza Mayor, established our local zumo spot, but truthfully, Madrid was a single mission: the Copa Del Rey final - FC Barcelona contra Sevilla FC. A generous friend confirmed tickets for the match a month prior, and we rendezvoused at the stadium. A red card in the first 30 minutes, a second red card in the dwindling minutes of the 90, and extra time ensued. With a full squad commitment, a Man-of-the-Match performance by Andres Iniesta, two Messísimo assists from THE Lionel Messi, a goal a piece for Jordi Alba and Neymar Jr... well... needless to say anything else but... Worth every euro for a dream realized. We accumulated massive amounts of media between the two of us, most not shared via Facebook or Instagram, so in an attempt to give you a taste of our summer sangria, here is the first of the series.
