My Madrid Adventure

On Wednesday, July 25th I did something that I had wanted to do ever since I signed up to come to Madrid. I visited the Real Madrid Soccer stadium! It was so cool. It is huge. It seats over 125,000 people. There are sings that direct the tour, so one can move at there own pace. There were picture of old players and coaches, just like at Turner Field. The tour even took me down onto the field! I saw the bench in which David Becham and Zidane have sat (both have been White Knights at one point or another). I went into the vistor´s dressing room. I am sure that many soccer greats have been in that dressing room. I don´t know if The World Cup has ever been in Spain, but it sure should be. There was also a trophry room. The explanation of the room was in English and explained that no one would ever find such a collection of trophies, because no team has won more than Real Madrid.
My trip to the stadium was also my first trip out into the city on my own. I am very pround of myself. I rode the metro alone and found the stadium. I then rode the metro to Sol just to explore a little. It feels good to know that I can find my way around big city in another country by myself.
Milledgeville is going to seem so boring when I return.
