Run Bull Run.

You gotta be pretty hardcore if you want a spot to watch the encierro (bullrunning).  On Monday, Alex and I got there at 6:30 am, which was way too late.  So we learned our lesson--on Wednesday, we arrived at 5 am.  We scored a spot right on the fence, so we had an amazing view of the running.  Only thing that would have been better would be a balcony, but hey, what can you do? 

It was a long three hours on that fence, fighting off angry Basques who wanted our spots, but we somehow managed.  Our view was great, though my photo-taking skills were not as good.  I only managed to get a photo of a steer running, not a bull.  But it gives you some idea of what it looks like.  Here's a photo from my friend Andrea, who managed to get on a balcony on Calle Estafeta, which is the most well-known street in the running.
