bullfight vid 16

bullfight 16

Well the Dos Equis lager Espanol's were taking a toll on my bro in law and it was right when the fighters were about to enter the ring. He ended up having to go all the way around to the other side and get his hand stamped.
I saw them enter tho and the matadors all made the sign of the cross and it looked like the bull had been hit with a dart (i'm thinking drugged) to keep him from jumping into our seats.
The Hacienda Tequila or grill made the trip possible and started to show us about the agave tree which looks some what like a pineapple in their museum and distillery when more lager espanol kicked in again. And right when I was about to inquire how they got the worm into the bottle.
The world famous Charreria had the red cape and the others wore pink....
Back at the grill the food ruled as well and a good time was had by all.

The bullfight

No gracias, the 1st two words every tourist should know.
My bro in law and I decided to head out to the weekly bullfight held every wed. at 3:30 in the old part of town. We had just watched extreme farm animals or that true tv where the bull had jumped three or four rows back and had already made our decision to sit at least 6 or 7 rows up in the arena whilst still on board the bus.
They sold these funny looking brews with a double X on the side called do-se-keez...very cold and the vendors paraded by constantly. I thought for sure I could get a tamale there.
I missed the best footage because of no spare batteries (doh) but managed to capture some even if it looks like the camera may be running when it should have been in the off position.

Bus ride part 2

Well after they stopped playing the 1st song La Cucaracha it seems to me I remembered the song from when I was a kid and it was about a cockroach.......or so I thought, until none other then our own Carl Sandburg had compiled an american songbag back in 1927... They were called dichos and after reading the lyrics I was confused because the song was about a fair maiden http://www.pamrotella.com/polhist/lacucaracha.html and about some bald man finding a comb upon a highway and there was no more marihuanna for to smoke? Hmmm
And we all know about Richie Valens song La Bamba and the plane crash and Waylon Jennings near miss.
My little sister may have gotten a better angle on some portions of the songs and also some sights.

lemme put a brick on this new pc

Well after 10 years and then some I have a new pc and should be able to keep up with the jonzes. The ups or (universal power source) went out on the old xp and I had to put a bullet in it to put the old girl outa her misery.
Now all I have to do is learn how to "do" vista and what not. I think I read some place where you can talk to it. I will try and post an updated phot of the new pole and the straightened out wires.
