World Cup Champions!!

How fortunate I am to be in Spain the year they become World Cup Champions for the first time!!! yay! These are some pictures of the parade the day after the game :)

I found these kids playing on the floor. They were se cute i just had to join in!

We decided to go straight the the stage and wait for the parade to get there. We were waiting for like 3 hours until we realized we'd rather join the parade to see them in person, even if we were super far away...
Some Spain spirited jets
This wasnt even half the pple that were there. We were still really early at this point.

This is my friends picture (i wasnt with her). she went straight to the parade instead of the stage so she got to see them earlier in the day.
So when we decided to leave the stage in search of the team bus, we got an even closer view!! Torres is the closest in the camera
Villa in the yellow hat

After we got really close to the players, Monica and I ran through a tunnel that was supposed to be blocked off and followed some Spanish guys into a side door and up a long flight of stairs. An alarm went off but we didnt care..

When we reached the door at the top, we popped our heads out and this is what we saw on one side:
And this was on the other side! The stage!! We were really close!

The people behind us were probably waiting there ALL day, like since the afternoon. We got there at like 11pm!

There were only camera people and security people who have special passes around us. They didnt even notice we didnt belong there!



Fireworks!
