3 dias till rapido torros. Ahaha. I arrived in el muy bonita Pamplona yesterday and have not stopped having an excellent time since arrival. Dimitri, is the best host you could ask for. He picked me up at the bus station with his brother. We dropped my stuff off and went to buy some 1 euro veno tinto. After loading up on vino we went to centro Pamplona and drank most of it in the streets before going to another couch surfers home where we met up with more csers and had delicious homemade tapas. The cs lady whose house we were at had a balcony overlooking a popular street 3 stories up, so you can image the fun we had with that after a bottle of vino each, ahah. Then we all went out on the town from there and had a good time till 5 am I cant remember the last time I did that.
Today Dimitri his wife Rebecca and their uno anyos son walked through Pamplona and ate a the oldest restuarante in Pamplona, fantastico place. There is a law that if you say wine is included with the meal you must keep bringing the table wine until they leave. Dimitri and I finished a bottle. Then we walked the bull coarse.
I have to run from deadmans corner to the stadium in about one minute and a half to outrun the bulls. This is about 600 meters or 1800 feet, what are the odds I outrun the bulls? I am gonna say 2-1. I get a head start on them because they have to run up a hill and the first wave meets the bulls then I am in the second wave on a long straightaway with no turns, but into the stadium. Today, we walked it in about 4 minutes I shot a video of the walk and will post it to you tube, too big for the blog. (look for Kevin bull walk)
Well I am not sure if I will get a chance to blog before the run so if not .Keep on rockin.
Kevin
PS, I will post more photo names later don't worry mom and judy, My Spanish is broken at best, but I am getting by I had dinner with Dimitri's wife this evening while he was at work and she speaks very little English but we still had a good couple of conversations(sign language included). I will not drink before the run I will even go to bed early. I think that was all the questions…
