Tony´s turn

so it finaly happened, i am sure everyone was waiting for this we slept out side on a park bench. it sucked we slept for about forty min then were woke up by the cold, i can my jacket to a west point big tuff army kid, cause he was compaining about the cold. so it sucked. it was about six in the morning and we walked around looking at the sea of twenty year old kids sleeping on the streets and all wearing the traditional white shirt and pants with red scarf. this place can never be decsribed only experienced i have never seen so many people so drunk sooo drunk it was unbelevable the bathrooms take to long so everyone just pees in the street and trash cans are not used so there are cups, broken glass, sangaria bottles. the smell and seen take you back a second. anyway we wonder into get a bocadilla which is pretty much the only things you can eat in this city and it is a warm bagette with some meat, i think the are de lish.
we make our way to the running which starts at 8. and before we know it the crowd is awake and everyone is going to run or watch. we get to a place where we both can kinda see and me and kel establish a meeting point for after when i go run, i leave but soon come back there are so many people that it is impossible to get in know. so we watch and it is six bulls and six baby bulls vs probably two thousand people the only real danger comes from the people the bulls are just hanging out. needless to say i was not impressed and did not feel the need to run the next day,
we did go to a bull fight which was awosme they killed six bulls and had a wide variety of skill levels on matador got his face cut by the bulls horns and the main event guy was 23 and really good it was all about style and this guy had it he killed the bull with one sword when most others took two the shitty guy took four.
moral of san fermen it is about the party the bulls come second, european festivals are the craziest thing i have ever seen. with one million people in a town that takes ten min to walk across is crazy.
