Right Place, Right Time

As I was heading to the gift shop at the Palacio Real to do some last minute shopping yesterday, I noticed an extra-long line. When I got a bit closer and talked to a security guard, I learned that people had gathered to welcome Club Atlético de Madrid after their recent victory in the championship against Fulham! After a few minutes, the double-decker team bus rounded the corner. Amidst cheers of "Atleeeetiii Atleeeetiii," the players chanted from the top and hoisted their silver cup into the air!! Later, my senora explained to me that the team was probably heading to the nearby Catedral de la Almudena to bless the trophy.
