This is a wee bit late but i shall tell my tale about the time i went to my first bull fight.
First of all, there was supposed to have around 30 people going, which i believe is why it was free to us. When it came time to go, there was around 8 people going...oops! That same day there was a rock climbing excursion, so maybe that is why people had to ditch. The group that actually went was a nice group, we all were friends, and that made half the experience. We met in the central parking lot where we met other people going, including the group D tutor, Maria Jose, creo que, y otras personas, puede ser la inglesia, pero no se. The person that was leading the group looked like one of the students here, which was pretty funny. the situation turned out that he was the actual Torero. The road to the "fight" was long, bumpy, but very fun, singing, bumping to the road.
When we got to the Ganaderia, the place was at the top of a mountain. We walked to rotunda of a stadium and saw the bulls (which were smaller than i thought) getting proded on by the people. We sat down in the "stadium" and the guy that we had met before came out in a traditional torero outfit. The outfit was as follows: a short vest, pants that went up to his chest...i wouldnt recommend these pants for the normal guy..because they were t-i-g-h-t. That is all i will say.
Bull fighting commenced. The bull was let out and the guy had the big ol' "flag" thing that was pink and yellow. Followed by the traditional red "flag" jave. This whole process was supposed to end with "the killing of the bull" but yea, no, this was a bull-friendly bull fight :)
After various people tried to "torero" and various people (cough Christian and Cedric) getting knocked around a little bit. We had lunch, where we got 2 lunches (because they made more than people were there). We ate lunch in a little cabin looking thing izquirda del stadium. In all the experience was very fun, and i believe it was a good first bull fighting expierence :)
ANIMALS WERE NOT HARMED IN MAKING OF THIS BLOG
My week
Internet is getting more and more crappy. But everyone is complaining of the same thing, even the teachers, so it will get fixed...if not this semester, hopefully after we get back from break :D
Laundry is another story, although i am pretty sure its just because my laundry soap is not the best, but its totally not working and my clothes are not clean when they are supposed to be clean. Never had that problem, but its ok, i get experience of washing my own clothes and drying them ALL by hand!
What really made my week happy was a very special package from my mother. From the time that she has been looking for coats, what we always have been looking for is coats that have fuzzyness EVERWHERE. Well, she has found one, and shes letting me borrow it!!! how epicly amazing is that? i will always think of her when i wear it and when i feel its warmth, its like she is hugging me :)) When i just opened up the package it smelled like home, oh i miss that smell!
This week hasnt been a hard week homework wise, so a few friends and i have been getting together for marathons of Friends episodes. We basically watched the whole second season! Good times. Oh and also truth and dare...that was pretty fun/funny :p
About two more weeks and we will be on our way to Ireland for christmas break :)
