Picking up where I left off...
We left the ring around 9:00am and were super tired. We had only about 2 hours of sleep the night before, and were ready to just chill out. The only problem is that we didn't have a car, were super hungry, and wanted to see Pamplona. So, instead of crashing all together we just drove around the city and saw Pamplona by car.
We headed out to the north part of the city and ended up at a random grocery store. There, we grabbed food for lunch and drinks for the night. Bring cheap backpackers, we decided that we should go ahead and buy drinks. Really it's what everyone does though. Basically at night everyone just has their stash of drinks and carries it around the city. They partying takes place in the streets for the most part, so it's kinda dumb not to buy your own stuff...
So, Josh and I bought 2 big 2 liters of coke and a bottle of rum, and Blake bought some random juices and vodka. Turns out Josh and I made a good decision in comparison to Blake. But we all had drinks for later in the night.
We headed next to the center of town to just walk around and chill. We ended up finding these huge mats (kinda like the ones from elementary school gym class) in the middle of this little park area. We crashed on those for about 3 hours or so, and it turned out to be an incredible nap. Once we woke up it was time to head back to the car and eat some peanut butter and bread with chocolate cookies for dessert. We had to get something in our systems, because we knew it was going to be a long night.
9pm... we headed up the hill to the city with out big bottles of drinks. We figured it was just going to be a mad house, and that it was. There are literally people everywhere wearing the exact same thing just partying in the streets. This whole thing keeps up all night long, until about 3 or 4 in the morning at least. Even then, though, it doesn't really completely die down until about 5 or 6. We chose to just hang in the plaza in the center of the city and people watch.
We started wandering around a little later and ran in to some Aussies that were staying in the same parking lot as us. We ended up wandering around the city aimlessly for hours with them, hoping to find a "concert" we were sure existed somewhere in the city. Sadly enough, we didn't find it. Not sure if that had anything to do with the fact that we didn't really know what was going on...
Anyway, we crashed around 3 or 4 in the morning. Josh decided to go to the car, and Blake and I ended up on a random patch of grass outside the city. About 5am we both woke up freezing cold, and headed back to the car to sleep. The next morning we would wake up and go watch the run, and see exactly what we had gotten ourselves in to the day before...
