On Saturday it was the Fourth of July in the US, but we also brought it to Madrid …and the Gay Pride Parade. A big group of us all dressed in red, white, and blue and represented good ol’ Amurica (a lot of us talking with hick accents). This included singing the Star Spangled Banner obnoxiously loud in the metro and drinking Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey (not me though, no thanks). There was a huge parade during the day, but to avoid the crazy crowds our group of friends just decided to take the metro to the gay district called Chueca. Matt stayed in that night. The Gay Pride celebration is a week-long event in which the parade is the last night. Matt had gone to the first night of the festival and said he couldn’t imagine it being any crazier.
We all had a great time dancing to music and taking pictures with strangers. Americans, Spaniards and various other foreigners wanted to take pictures with us because all of us matched with the 4th of July theme. There were a lot of “interesting” characters there to say the least. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves…
