Pamplona for Good Friday

The day commences with a call from home. I feel much better after a night´s sleep, and I properly start my day at the civil hour of 11am. My first point of call is to see where the running of the bulls takes place. I walk the path, taking a time lapse video as I walk to give the impression of running. The walk takes 8 minutes to the Plaza de Toros, and I stop to view the statue of Hemingway outside the ring. I aimlessly meander through the streets until I reach the cathedral and stop inside w...

Cap. 1 Un inesperado mensaje

... con la Fundación Universidad de Valladolid</li></ul><br>Y eso era toda la información que tenia. ¿Poca no? Bueno pues al día siguiente llame a la fundación de Valladolid. Hable con una chica muy amable que resolvió muy pocas de las dudas muchas que yo tenía. Básicamente le interesaba saber si iba aceptar la beca o no. Le comenté que todavía en casa no había hablado del tema y apuntó que eso era un detalle bastante importante a ...

Fiestas, Siestas and Running with the Bulls

... sunglasses. <br> We woke up around 6:00am to get a good spot in front of the mayors building. This was where all those who wanted to run must meet before the actual running. We still needed someone to hold the day pack, so unfortunately Justin couldn&#8217;t run. Instead he tried to post up somewhere towards the end of the run to try and get some video of us. Mitch and I stood in this small square surrounded by&#8230;. That&#8217;s right you guessed it Austrailian and American ...

Cowering from the Bulls

... tshirt, red waist sash and neck scarf (although at first you have to tie it around your wrist). 2: expect said clothes to completely trashed by the end of the ceremony due to the tradition of having sangria, champagne and whatever other liquids are on hand poured or sprayed all over you. 3: the plaza will be extremely crowded, mosh pit style. Ok, so having said that I guess we didn't really think through point 3 very well because for ...

Sunday Night

... busy. Many of them shut down for a few hours and the streets that were busy suddenly were quiet. <br><br>Sunday night in Spain is not like Sunday night in Saskatoon. It is a family night that begins at 8 pm. We ate at a restaurant tonight that was a favorite of Ernest Hemingway. It is on the main square that is filled with people - from Grandparents to babies. It is 9:30 pm now and the streets are still busy.<br><br>We are ...

A rainy day

We'll remember this stage for the amount of mud we accumulated in our legs. It was an awkward day, at least this stage was pretty easy but the beginning (a huge climb with a lot of mud).<br><br>We founded the main refuge in Estella newly renovated, clean, with all the facilities... a nice place where we met people from Italy, Germany and New Zealand , we decided to cook together a huge tipical spanish omelet!!! We also took a walk around beatiful Estella despite of the pain in our legs!<br>

F*cking Perdon

... br>Monte del Perdon is haundred times harder than O Cebreiro, after we reach the top of the Mount, we had to descent to Puente la Reina, we saw lots of people with injuries because of this descent.<br><br>Puente la Reina is beautiful village with lots of services and refuges.<br>

I'm too fat to run away from Bulls..

... Cornwall, you'll know this is the kind of stupid thing they do there as well, except they do it with English symbols because the signs there aren't written in Cornish as well as English (given only a few thousand people speak even rudimentary Cornish, that's not a surprise really). I eventually crossed the river and took the winding road up to the old town that towers behind Roman walls high above the modern city below. I almost got ran over by a coach ...

Pamplona - Running with the bulls

... re weaving in and out, you lose sight of your surrounding and wonder "where are they!?!". The sounds behind you are getting louder, the final turn is up ahead you just need to reach it- after that it's a straight line to the arena. The sounds of scremaing and hooves are deafening, I slide in the inside turn and see a stampede racing to the arena. BUT here's the kicker- if you want to be in the arena you have to get in before the last bull so.. what do you do? Run beside ...

The 2nd running of the bulls

... attack it did. Anything that was in its way. Eventually, the handlers got it moving towards the ring. As it was around 9 in the morning, we went back to the flat for more sleep. When I awoke, the TV was going. One of the channels was dedicated to the bull run. They were showing highlights and replays from all different areas of the run. It was in Spanish, but we understood that this had been a bad run and there was an ex handler who was telling all what ...
