Last weekend I went to Lagos, Portugal, a six hour bus ride away. Lagos is basically a colony of Australians. I talked to probably about 5 portuguese people and met seemingly 100s of Australians in my hostel and on the beach and everywhere.
Here is a giant rock that we climbed up.
The next day some people jumped off it, but I didn't because it was freezing and the water was choppy. It started raining that night and didn't stop for all the next day, so my sea kayaking trip got canceled :(. We did get to spend time just hanging out and watching american movies in the hostel which was fun. It rained so much that it flooded in lots of areas in the province (Algarve) we were in, and the floods were on all 4 portuguese channels on our television in the hostel. It was pretty exciting.This weekend I stayed in Sevilla. Yesterday I went to a bullfight which was... interesting. I liked the beginning before the bull was hurt, when the guys came out in their shiny, tight outfits and strutted around.
Here is the initial procession of everyone involved:
and I liked when the bull was running around and smashing into the walls and stuff.
Here is the bull flipping upside down!
I stopped taking pictures after the bull was bleeding. Overall it was interesting, and I'm glad I went, but I will never go again. It seemed kind of like they were ganging up on the bull because there were so many people in the ring at once. Like they were teasing it and then they killed it. We only stayed for 2 out of 6 bulls. I thought it would have been more fair if there were about 10 bulls at a time against all those people. Last night I went to a free Flamenco show at this bar called La Carboneria, which has free flamenco everynight. It was really cool.
For some reason the font just changed... ok. Well the Flamenco was really cool. I am going to go read before my first class (at 6pm) today!
