Pamplona End Notes

They always say that you can get a good look at a T-Bone by sticking your head up a bulls ass, but wouldnīt you rather take the butchers word for it?

Some didnīt and on Monday, they got punished in San Fermin. I would like to give a shout out to all those that got gored and injured on Monday. I believe the count was like 4 gorings and 10 injuries. I hope they are all ok, but I guess they didnīt train as long and as hard as I did. They didnīt endure my grueling regimen of fitness and health and as a result, they literally messed with the bulls and got the horns. In the end, they just didnīt want it bad enough.

To answer the question, no, I didnīt see Dennis Rodman. I heard right after the run that he was there and I am very disappointed. I would have loved to find him and the cameras so I could have been on TV. I guess you live and learn.

My last day there ended quite nicely. I hung out with some random Spanish guys downing Sangria for a few hours, sat around with some Nigerian students and then "feel asleep" (some might say "passed out") in the park for a few hours. One problem. I "went to sleep" in the shade of a tree. I woke up in the blazing sun. Stupid Earthīs rotation!

I had no sun tan lotion on. As a result, I received a ridiculous sun burn. I had sunglasses on, so I looked like a racoon. I had one arm over my head so my left underarm is savagely burned at the t-shirt line and the neck of my t-shirt must have been pulled up because from then on, you could see the mark on every other shirt I wore. Now, all this wouldnīt have been so bad except for the fact that I had a 5 hour bus ride in front of me, followed by an 8am flight to a god damn island that receives about 11 hours of sunshine for the next 6 days. I had the single most unusual looking tan lines in the Canary Islands, I guarantee it. Plus, I was so burned, I couldnīt really put too much sun screen on because of the pain. So, for 2 days I really had to limit my time in the sun. I know, what an ass...
