The Bulls

The other night I was asked if I was watching the World Cup. Alas, no, I'm not interested in soccer. There are a few really crazy European sports I'm into however.

  • Formula One Auto Racing
  • Tour De France Bicycle Racing
  • Running of the Bulls

Today is the first day of the 2006 Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Here's a quote from Yahoo!
Revelers wearing white shirts and trousers, held up their red kerchiefs and shouted: "Long Live!" as champagne bottles popped and onlookers dumped buckets of water on the crowd from surrounding balconies. It's impossible to escape the bash without a thorough drenching of beer, sangria, water and eggs, but nobody seems to mind. "We've come to get drunk!" the crowd chanted, and they had come to the right place.
