Camarma en fiestas

David and Rachel went to a "bull fight" Friday night. In a traditional bull fight, the bull is killed by the matador during the fight. In the event that we attended, however, there were 12 recortadores who perform acrobatics around the bull. Here are a couple of five second videos to give you an idea of what it was like:



Obviously, this can be rather dangerous. One of the recortadores tripped when running from the bull, which gave Rachel a fright. The bull roughed him up a good bit, but the others rescued him and he walked away!


One other note of interest - the guy who was walking around selling raffle tickets for the leg of ham that he was carrying. It was raffled off near the end of the evening.
