Famosos

hehe...remember my post on Bimba Bose? Well, the other night in Pontevedra we walked to one of our favorite places for drinks, by a cute plaza, and what do you know Bimba was Deejaying with David Delfin, yea the Spanish designer. The scene was lacking some dancing, so Melisa and I decided to go and dance a bit to the Michael Jackson, Beyonce, and Justin Timberlake...hahah. Funny thing is, as we got to the front, the DJs came down into the crowd to dance...and well, since everyone else did it, we got a pic with Bimba and David. What can I say? We are awesome!

DJ play my song!

Dancing

And our shot done by Bimba...and yes, bummer is we weren't quite dressed for a photo with a model we had spent the day at the beach...

And with Sr. David Delfin. No, he didn't offer us any free clothes.

Finally, another famous Galician actor, Luis Zahera, came around, so we got a pic...hahah, we were on a roll. He's the crazy dude in Celda 211 or better known as Petrolio his character in a Galcian TV series.

Octopus to the party

And the party just keeps going here in Spain to celebrate the CHAMPIONS!! Yesterday historic numbers of people filled the streets in 100 and some degree weather to welcome the team home, the streets were red and yellow, people were in their balconies, in trees, and even on top of store terraces. Here's a little taste of what it was like in Santiago on Sunday night. Oh, and in case you're wondering, he octopus seems poised to become the new national mascot. Bye-bye bull, hello pulpo!

OE, OE, OE!!!

ESPAÑA ES CAMPEON DEL MUNDO!!! Yay!!! From they beginning they were the favorites, and after defeating Germany it was even more obvious that Spain deserved the title, but watching the game last night, the nerves were unbearable. We watched the game at a friend's house, with enough room for the nervous pacing, the cheers at the close calls, and the jeers at the ref and the dutch who were waaaay to violent, and for the GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL by Iniesta in the 116th minute!!!!!!! Arms flew up, hugs all around, and all the guys started running outside, everyone was cheering, nearly crying. They did it. La roja. Casillas and our hunky Spaniards played beautifully, made me love this sport, and won the much deserved title of world champions. CAMPEONES!!!!!!!!!! Way to go Spain!!! (pics of the street party with the pulpo to come!)

PS...one final note. Remember Sara Carbonero? Well, her man Iker, captain of la roja, tearing up during their interview after the game while thanking his family, couldn't take it anymore, stopped everything...and kissed her!!!!!! Soooooo cute! ¡Qué bonito es el amoooor! Isn't their eye contact adorable? And how they both tear up! Tooo cute.

Can Can

Another way to use your old cans. I've got to start saving them for my terrace. These are lovely. See how to here.

LA FURIA!!

Ganamos!! Now to win the world cup!! Spain is in full force fiesta. Yesterday was the start of the fiestas de San Fermin-you know bull running in the street, red scarf and white clothes, Hemingway, Pamplona and seven straight days of party. I don't think I could survive it...ain't no party like a Spanish party cuz a Spanish party don't stop (just ask my sister or Laura). But, to make the summer party even sweeter SPAIN IS GOING TO THE WORLD CUP FINALS! They played amazingly yesterday against Germany and we are all eagerly awaiting Sunday evening to watch Casillas hoist the cup into the air. I'm so happy to be in Spain living such fun memories and see what its like when everyone on the street has a little extra pep in their step and a smile on thier face. VAMOS ESPAÑA!!

Memories
