Plans Change


 
Forget about Croatia.. those people don't know good food anyway..
Now Spain, Spain is the home of Paella! How bad can it be?
Croatia was proving to be too much. Not being the vacation hot spot of Europe, flights are limited. So now the teenagers are planning on Spain.. A few of their offspring in tow.


Time for a new geography lesson.
Sad that they are going to miss the....
when:Jun 2011 (annual)
where:Castrillo de Murcia
cost:Free

The Baby-Jumping Colacho Festival



Men Dressed as the Devil Jump over the stinky bundles of joy.. taking any and all evil with them.
I guess Spain doesn't have a department of child services.

But if the Macho Spanish men find babies child's play, there is always this....


Bull-leapers6


Teams of 5 to 7 bull leapers gather each year in cities like Valencia or Barcelona, to take part in a performance that many compare to the Russian roulette. Each team may face up to three bulls in the ring, at once, taunting and jumping over them just when the beasts prepare to impale them.
Then there is always the town built under a rock.. yes a rock. Setenil de las Bodegas
 Back in the 1400's they were clever in protecting their villages. Something about the Moor's blah blah blah.. It is just cool to look at.





Looks like a fun place to play.. Lots to see, and do. Damn they are going to miss the Running of the Bulls also..




Mooooo!

  1. I don't think mom would have been able to survive the jumping of the bulls anyway, and dad would have to stop in the middle of flight over the babies to see if he could get them to smile and that wouldn't be a pretty sight.
