Welcome to Madrid

Look at this peculiar apartment building! All the rooms are round!
How would you like to live here?
I suppose you would need a round bed!

Now, let me tell you a little bit about Spain. See the map below. You can see where I was yesterday and where I am today. But I am pointing to another place called Pamplona where they have a very unique festival every July: The Running of the Bulls.
In Spain, one of the favourite sports events is Bullfighting!
Do you remember in Miami we went to the restaurant with everything made of buffalo? It was a latin restaurant. Latinos seem to really like big cows.


So every July in Pamplona, people come from all over the country and even from around the world for the thrill of Running with the Bulls. They turn a herd of angry bulls loose into the streets and the goal is to run away from them. (Why would anyone run toward them?) Well bulls are quite fast. Especially angry ones. So it is quite a thrill to be chased by an angry bull. Fear makes you run very fast. Here are some pictures of the event in Pamplona that I found for you on the internet.


Uh-oh! These fellas look like they are in trouble.
