Bullfights...

Now let me just say that this is one Spanish tradition you simply cannot miss - However - for me it is a one and done type of thing.

Yesterday a bunch of us USACers went to our first bullfight (un correo del toros??) and I have a mix of emotions about it. First off, it's sad. In just under 2 hours I saw 6 bulls get basically tortured and killed. Second, the arena (plaza del toros) was beautiful!! Very large and elegant and I loved it. Third, the slightly demented, EM doctor side of me wanted to see one of the matadors get nailed. Luckily, in the last round that happened and I got to see him get carried out of the plaza.

I'll post a video and pictures on YouTube eventually - you know when I have a life. Because I really can't describe it in words. Mind you the pictures and video may be graphic so be prepared.

Like I told my host family - I will never go again, but it was a cultural experience I had to have.
