Count me in on the tomato fight... I remember seeing that on the travel channel....they brought in tractor trailer loads of tomatos and all hell broke loose in the city. Not sure how things like this get their start, but its so cool that its still not dead. As far as the bulls go, let me get a few beers in me and it will probably seem more like a good idea.

hahaha, but seriously, one of my friends ran with the bulls a few years ago, and she got gored pretty good in the knee. it made all the papers in the US.

Was she dressed as a man? Because technically, women aren't allowed to run.

I've been. I didn't run...I watched from a very high, very safe place. The end when all the runners and all the bulls are in the bullring is the best, funniest part! That's what they should show on TV.

San Fermines is amazing. Imagine Bourbon Street on Fat Tuesday, then imagine that seven nights in a row, and you might begin to scratch the surface of the sheer amount of partying that goes on.

Yeah, I could only handle two days, then I had to go back to San Sebastian to recuperate.

I was stationed in Spain for two years back in the early eighties.

Going to Pomplona was off limits due to guys getting injured and uncle sam paying the bill.

We went to a mini-running of the bulls in the small town next to the base. They ran bulls (small ones) through the streets and into the town bullring. Once in the ring they had railroad ties set up standing on end in an L shape, in the middle of the ring. The challenge was to run from the side of the ring into the middle where the railroad ties provided cover.

We sat there calling everyone dumb-asses and watching people get slammed by the bulls (sometimes there were several in the ring). Well after numerous and sundry alcoholic beverages, myself and a friend became dumb-asses.
Several stitches, cuts, and bruises later, a great time was had by all (dumb-asses that is).

I still have a cool scar on my arm as proof!!!!
SPAIN ROCKS!!!!

I learned at a fairly early age ... while spending summers in FL and visiting the ranch that my cousins had, that entering the wrong field ... the one with the REALLLLLY BIG Brahma bulls was a REALLLLLLLY bad idea. I learned that you did not have to be faster than the bulls when running away.. just faster than my cousins.
