My dad was stationed in Zaragosa with the 431st, Orson Welles would be at the bullfights. He thought about it, but decided that being a fighter pilot was risky enough.

Ya, but good shape or not, all you need is for one jellyroll to go down in front of you, and good shape won't mean dick.

My BIL who is a big Hemingway groupie, goes every year. They have a Condo that overlooks the whole INSANE event and just enjoy the parties.
When I was about 18 went there and was walking down the street with my dad. There was a Chevy Vega station wagon and two [bleep] hippies were butt naked [bleep] in the back of that thing. We laughed out loud. To say that whole area was packed is an understatement.
To tell the truth, if I could get a friend to go with me I'd do it. But, although I'm the only one who doesn't drink, the rest of the crew doesn't want to do stupid stuff anymore.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored."
I've been told by someone who was there, that the cobblestone streets are a little slick, a combination of grease, spilled wine and vomit.
Closest I've been was around a mile and a half. The amount of wine drinking that goes on is pretty amazing, regular bottles for 50 cents (euro), and people pushing shopping carts full.
the Irish got nothing on those people!
Myself, I'd rather work up the nerve, and conditioning, to do the Camino de Santiago.

MADRID – Spanish officials say a French citizen has died after being gored by a bull during a festival in a small town in eastern Spain.
A statement from the town hall of Pedreguer says the 44-year-old man died shortly after 1 a.m. Tuesday.
The town hall said the man, identified only by the iniitials L.O., had been standing with some friends when he was gored by one of the bulls.
The incident occurred during a running of the bulls being held as part of the town's summer festival.
The death came as Spain's most celebrated bull-running festival, San Fermin in Pamplona, came to an end Tuesday. Ten people were gored during the nine-day festival this year but nobody died.
