We decided it was about time that we go to a Barça game. They are the best football team in the world and all. We bought some tickets online with our friend Jorge, for seats that were cheap and really really high up in the stadium. We then waited and hoped that the tickets would arrive on time. Fortunately they did. We headed off to the stadium and, of course, visited the Barça store before the game.

| Puyol! Tabitha's favorite Barça player. Unfortunately he was injured and didn't get to play. |

Once we had our fill of all the Barça merchandise we headed off to find our seats. We walked through the gate for our tickets and then started walking down!?! And then through the door for our section, and basically onto the field. Even though we were convinced we were in the wrong spot, the usher assured us that we were right. We were sitting in the second row between the goal and the corner!
