ok the bull fight was amazzzzzzing! seriously..it was awesome. we were all a little skeptical about going, but i'm so glad i did. there is just so much culture and tradition in it...we were on the 2nd row, front and center and it lasted about 2 1/2 hours. there are 3 matadores who kill two bulls each...the matadores are very young- 18 and 19 years old and are MUY GUAPO (very cute)...they all still dress in traditional attire too. it felt surreal--like i was in a totally different world. I have so much respect for this tradition now...I can't wait to go again when my family is in town! After the fight, we went to a bar called El Tigre...its really popular and fun..you can get a drink and a plate of tapas for 1.50 euros...sweeeet deal, yeah? On the metro on the way to the bar, we met these two guys (twins) from louisville, kentucky...they seemed a littttttle out of place with their big southern accents haha..but they were in town for the night so they came out with us...they were funny and it was nice to hear some familiar words and phrases! it was a fun night :)

Tim and I are off to China Tomorrow and hope we have as much fun as you are. There are not bull fighters, but maybe we will see sumo wrestlers. Talk about tight pants!
