Day 36 - Pamplona, Spain

Well today we did it! We actually RAN WITH THE BULLS in Pamplona, Spain. As you might imagine, Michael must have thought through what was the best way to do it about 50 times. We ended up running ahead of the bulls for some time before we ducked into a doorway that was about 1 foot deep in order to allow the bulls to run by us. Then we ran the rest of the way into the bullring (which is the end of the run). We´re happy to report that we don´t have any injuries or fatalities! When we were standing in the doorway, the bulls ran about five feet or so from us. They definitely run faster than either of us could, so you just have to get out of the way! After we got in the doorway of a shop, about three more rows of people piled in front of us, pushing us back into the door. We were fine with this as it was a buffer between we and the bulls which helped ensure our not being gored by them! It was truly a blast! We headed to Zaragoza, Spain after the running of the bulls. After waiting quite a while in the train station, we learned that our train was experiencing problems and that we´d have to take a bus, which is not nearly as fun. But, we made it to Zaragoza.
