Pamplona

From Erti:
"Pamplona' awesome. Its nice, very easy to get around, kinda cozy!! Va says its generally a quiet little town, but the running of bulls makes it pretty razy!!!

As soon as we got off the worst bus trip ever (an overnight from Sevilla with the loudest most terrible voiced person in the world - who also smoked all night long) we were greeted by singing, dancing, and copious drinking! (also, after the bus trip, me Va and Joj were all ridiculously tired and jealous of David's superhuman ability to sleep through anything!!!)

We arrived pretty early, before the run, on friday! We huffed it to the hostel and ditched our bags and tried to find a spot to watch the run from... This was kinda tough! Every bit of space with a view was´taken up and anything that could be climbed had already been clumb. (or climbeded, whichever you prefer) We found this one little spot where we could each stick our heads in and see through about 4 by 4
inch windows. We saw lots of legs and a few bulls!! It seemed not too wild or dangerous - and we felt pretty god about our ability to brave the toros!!!

Anyways, we followed that up with a huuuuuuge nap to make up for the bus ride. The nap lasted roughly 6 hours, though david and joj got up and scouted out the town for the last 2ish hours?"

Ok, David here, and our time is running out, so this is going to have to be a to be continued...but:
- we didnt get to run with the bulls
- we all got poked and even hit with police sticks
- people are still drunk and in the streets being loud at 11am...amazing!
- knechtel says pamplona is a lot like mardi gras, sans all the boobs...
- we head to barcelona on a night bus tonight (leaving at 1am), then two days in barcelona before a night bus to madrid, a day and night in madrid, and then our flight home!
