Well I made it through another uneventful run with the bulls. Ha ha. No it's really nice knowing what's going on before it happens. I started a little farther into the corse hopeing that I would have more of a chance to run with them... It kind of worked. I was able to get a little closer even hit one with my newspaper. It was cool I also made it into the bullring. After the run they let out some vacas. I guess that's a female bull. Anyway their smaller and they put leather caps on their horns but thats where way more people get hurt. It was crazy in their so I jumped out after the third bull.
Then I started a long day of travel. I took the bus about 45 min northeast to a small town called olite. The problem was I was not the online trying to get out of Pamplona. It was hard to find a bus. But I did and I'm here. The parador in olite is a castle that they have turned into a hotel. Cool right. Well it's really cool and theirs another huge castle next to it that you can walk all through. It's beautiful. I think I have taken more pictures today than I have for the 9 days before this. It's relly cool. And I thought I wouldnt like the old tourist attractions. This town is do small, quiet and unpopulated compared to the last four days. It's weird to not see wall to wall people on every street. I didn't spend any money on food today before dinner but for dinner I splurged. I ate in the castle and they feed me like a king! Really good bread and cheese. Vegetables and lamb. I'm sure this is a sin in someone's books to be in such famous wine country and not be drinking it. The San ferries drink is coke and red wine. I missed out on that to. I plan to have lots of time tomorrow so I'll up date more then. Goodnight knights
It sounds like you are having a great trip!
ReplyDeleteTechnically a "female bull" is a cow. Cows can have horns, the horns depend on the breed not the gender.
Thanks. I was pretty sure I didn't have that right.
