We got lucky in Madrid. On the Saturday that we arrived the UEFA championship was being played in Santiago Bernabeu, the soccer stadium of Real Madrid. The game was between Inter Milan (Italians) and Bayern Munich (Germans.) I was rooting for the Germans because Inter Milans had eliminated FC Barcelona in the game before. My mom and I visited the stadium on the outside. It was madness. People were trying to sell tickets, I heard prices from 400 to 800 euros. I think there were more Italians than Germans. Unfortuanately, Inter Milan won 2-0. That night I struggled going to sleep because the Italians were partying in the streets ALL NIGT. The next day we got better rest and in Madrid we visited el Museo del Prado. I did not like Madrid so much this time around. I prefer Barcelona because it has the sea and is more modern. Madrid is an older city but has some cool sites like the palace and the Plaza Mayor. Our visit to Madrid finally came to an end and we headed to a much smaller city about 30 minutes away called Toledo.
