Everyone’s excited. The city hosts an eight hour party. The bars are filled. All are faced with disappointment. The prospect of winning the 2020 olympic bid made an ordinary Saturday night a special occasion. That is, until Madrid missed the final ballot. However, the news is hardly slowing people down. Congrats Tokyo!

I saw my first flamenco show this weekend. I also had a flamenco lesson, but since I can’t dance, I much preferred watching the show. Sorry the picture is poor quality. I took it on my old iPhone that I’m using here in Spain. Overall, a great way to spend my first Friday night in Spain.
