Week 9: That´s a wrap!

What was left from session 1

Bullfight



These are all the people that fight the bull, they´ve all got different jobs.

Sevilla´s Plaza de Toro is the largest and best known bull ring in all of Spain

So it is offically done and it was a lot of fun while it lasted. Last presentation given, last paper written and no more school for a month! Feels good to have a break, been doing the school thing for a year straight now.
So obviously you saw that we went to a bullfight. It was this past thursday night and was a lot of fun. It is one of those things that people either really like or really hate... i´m on the like it side. I really like the history of it and they still wear what they have forever, and it is still done the same way they have forever. One of my favorite parts is when the matador is doing a really good job and the band starts to play... I thought of meghan when they were playing. You would have loved it.
We weren´t watching anybody that was really good, but some students that are amateurs right now. It was unbelievable watching 17 year old fighting bulls.
The best part of the fight was when some old homeless drunk spaniard ran down into the right with his own cape thing to fight the bull. Luckily the bull didn´t gore him, but you should have seen how many security people bum rushed him to get him out of the ring. He was nuts!
In an hour I´m meeting my friends to go to the movies and then I go to my flight tonight which takes off at 9:10pm. Suprisingly, one of my good friends is on the same flight going to London too, which will be cool.
This is my last entry from my studies in spain, but expect a lot from Kubic and my adventures!
