Spain has so many problems. Many government officials are corrupt, the unemployment rate is still high ten years after the crisis, and the banks run the economy. Yet for some reason, so many of flock to Spain and want to stay. There have to be SOME redeeming qualities. Actually, there are tons. I recently talked about what boggles my mind about Madrid, but now I think it’s time to talking about what makes it amazing.
Four years ago, I went to my first Rockies game. I had liked the Rockies before, but I really began to love them that day. My only problem: I live nowhere close to Colorado. Every year I look at the schedule and hope that the Rockies will play the Nationals or the Orioles. Finally, I convinced my parents to buy me tickets to see the Rockies play the Nationals! Play ball!
If you know me, I’m a pretty big Real Madrid fan. I get a lot of flack from my Barça friends, but I don’t care. Hala Madrid! After settling into our apartment and grabbing some food, we jumped into a cab and headed toward the Santiago Bernabéu. A smile came to my face just by saying those words.
We stepped out of the cab and WOW. There it was. It was massive and grand and wonderful. I can’t even begin to imagine what the atmosphere is like on game days. I was finally getting to live out a dream.
When most people plan a vacation, they usually tend to be on the coasts: California, Florida, New York. Not many people think to go for a vacation in the middle states. But here’s a tip: go to Colorado.
Now you may be thinking, “Hey, there are no beaches or no monuments. Why should I got to Colorado?”
Are you kidding me? I love Colorado! My dream is the live in Europe, but if I don’t get that chance, Colorado is definitely on top of my list for places to live. Here’s why.
