Viva Espana!

It'd be a quiet night Sunday night at the hostel except for the fact that it's the EuroCup finals! This is the first time Spain has made an appearance in twenty some odd years so it's quite a big deal. While there's a little debate whether or not Catalans care to revel in Spanish football glory, here at Somnio we're equal opportunity fans.

Our Digital+ cable package is finally paying off. It's not a crazy crowd tonight but our buddy Jim stopped by. We also have some Thai and Japanese guests enjoying the game with us. No one knows the rules so our house color commentary is pretty bleak. Earlier, a British guest kindly informed us that this tournament is only played every four years (so it's not like the Superbowl??) We'll have to catch her on her way back from dinner to clear up this yellow card/red card nonsense.

While my inner Spaniard is pulling for our team, I'm not looking forward to the incessant honking that'll likely keep me up until the wee hours in the event of victory.

GOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
