The President of Spain is Across the Street

So, I was sitting down to have a nice leisurely lunch when I see--through the living room windows-- a huge crowd of people across the street. Dije: ¿Que es esto? and my host mom starts going crazy (in a not-happy way; she hates politics) about how ZAPATERO (THE PRESIDENT OF SPAIN) is across the street...pretty cool. The crowds seem to have subsided, pero es muy interesante que el presidente estuvo tan cerca de mi edificio.
