Earlier today, waiting for an Olympic party to happen. Madrileños paint the Madrid 2016 symbol with Rubiks Cubes (weird)
All of Madrid has been on pins and needles all day waiting to hear if they get to host the 2016 Summer Olympics.
All over town there are parties in the street waiting to happen. Across from the Palacio Real people have been hanging around waiting for the party.
We decided to watch the live voting action from home where we have more translation tools at hand.
AND NOW THEY HAVE A FINAL VOTE -- BUT THEY AREN'T TELLING FOR A WHOLE HOUR. Why is it that the Olympics can declare a winner by a millionth of a second - but it takes an hour to announce the results of this vote? Crazy.
We've been a little cynical about this Madrid bid for the Olympics. But we are all now rooting for our (now) home team. GO, MADRID! GO!
Bummer about the Obama coat tails not working out for Chicago.
I'm still skeptical. But, if Madrid gets it, we're going down to that party!!
