Hey Kev,
So I just read your mom's post.....I am glad that you made it! I was very nervous for you. Be sure to update the blog so we can get first hand details on how awesome it was!
Mom
Kevin just called me after running with the bulls at the San Fermin festivals in Pamplona Spain. He sounded more exhilarated then I have ever heard him as he said "I'm alive". "I did it and I'm alive."
I am one relieved and thankful Mom!
I'm so proud of you Kevin!
I love you and keep staying safe! Mom
Mom
I see the pictures and it looks like you are enjoying the wine inside and out. Did you run yet and are you OK?
I love you. STAY SAFE. Mom
Mom
The local news is showing the bull run. I would love to hear how exciting it was and that you out ran them or you jumped on the gate as they passed by and you are safe, ASAP!
I love you. STAY SAFE. Mom
Ame
Hey Kev,
As always, love seeing the pictures! Is the out fit on the chair what you wear when you run with the bulls? Looks a little long to run in...... I hope that you have been practicing your running :) Have a great time and be safe.....I will be checking back to make sure that you post something on here so I know you ran very very fast so post quickly so everyone knows you made it!
P.S. I noticed that your hair is staying short....Laura and I came up with the idea that you never cut it....The entire trip....A little Forest Gump action... I think it would suit you....That includes the beard by the way

Don't know what you are doing 8/13 to 8/16 but I heard about this and thought it might be interesting.
"Piazza del Campo" is still used today for the well known Palio horse race which is one of the most famous popular Italian manifestations. It takes place every year on July 2 and August 16. The Palio is run to celebrate the miraculous apparition of the Virgin Mary. The first Palio was run on August 16, 1656.
This traditional popular manifestation lasts four days (from June 29 to July 2 and from August 13 to 16) and finishes in the streets of the victorious "Contrada" where the people celebrate the happy event in a most joyous way. Winner pays all.
Whoever happens to be in Siena during these exciting days can, but join in the enthusiasm of the people for the Palio and, of course, the final victory. Visitors, in fact, often go roaming through the winding streets of the ancient town sympathizing with the "Contrada" in which they are living; they do their best to understand the alliances and rivalries between the contradas and temporarily become fervent "contradaioli" (as the inhabitants of each Contrada are called) having much at heart the health of the race horse and of the jockey.
