Yes Everyone, We Are Still Alive

After a very long and very fun evening experiencing the night life of Pamplona, we found that construction workers began their toils even before 5:00 am constructing fences in the streets so that the bull run is controlled. 

Without having been to this event it would be hard to imagine how big it really is so ill put it into words through something Ben said: Imagine time square, on New Year's Eve, with everyone in the city wearing the same thing, and bulls running through the middle. It was absolutely insane. 

This is a picture of the small street, packed with people running. It was so packed up against these fences with people trying to get a good view that we had to stand for over two hours in order to secure our spot. Two hours of standing, inches from a boat load of strangers all pushing and shoving to get to the front...we made friends pretty easily. After only a 15 minute cat nap instead of a full nights sleep, we were exhausted. So after the bulls ran, we made our way to the train station and boarded a train to Madrid and slept the whole ride. After arriving, we went to our hostel and slept some more. 

After our nap we decided we needed some dinner and went to a place recommended to us for paella and it was quite delicious!

Tonight will be one good nights sleep but tomorrow brings a new adventure!
