July 14, 2005Pamplona 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? 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... Comments
