Didn't know I could post from my iPhone. Don't know why I am tonight but I guess I might as well type up something Spain related.


So,

Bull fights. They are really cool but gruesome too. Once the shock and awe of the first bull being killed is past you can actually enjoy(or watch rather?) the rest of the fights.

There are 6 bulls that are fought in a night and 3 matadors. There are other random matador like guys who distract the bull while guys on horses start the bleeding process. But regardless it ends up being man vs bull. It's pretty intense especially when the bull gets a few licks in too, as we saw several times that night. Seeing someone get trampled by an animal with horns that is backed by 1 ton of muscle is very scary. But it's amazing too. As the first fighter went down and was stepped on by the bull numerous times until the other matadors could distract the bull your thinking there is no way this guy is getting up. Even if he is ok he has to be knocked out or something but for this first one he was ok and walked to the side of the ring and washed the bulls blood off his head he went back out and finished his business up. What was more impressive is all the matadors where younger than me. By at least 2 years. You wouldnt find me doing anything remotely close to that.

Anyways more to come(probably from state side but I figure I could squeeze one more post from Spain in here)
