Quick Note: I am going to be posting material for the past 5-6 days pretty quickly. Sorry for the delay. Anyway, just keep in mind that there are going to be multiple posts as a time. There are 2 this time, so scroll down... more to come very soon.
We woke up at 7am or so. I should say actually that Josh woke up blake and I at 7am or so. Blake and I begged to stay asleep for a few minutes and then realized that we were going to miss seeing the run, and that's something we wouldn't get to see again soon. So, we all got up and took off up the hill again to the center of the city, where we hoped to get a good spot on the fence...
We arrived up near the run around 7:30 or so, after a slower than usual hike (the night before on the grass didn't treat us very kind) and found that it was going to be pretty difficult to find a spot on the fence. Everyone gets there pretty early, so when we rolled up about 30 minutes before, we were pretty much out of luck.
I did, however, manage to force myself up on to a very small open section of the fence, and Josh threw his camera up to me. I got a few pretty good shots, and got to see first hand exactly what we did. All I have to say is that we are idiots. I know it's one of those things you have to do before you die if you get the chance, but it's just insanity. A bunch of dumb human beings running down a narrow alley away from bulls that want to put a horn right through your stomach. Really, isn't it dumb? Anyway, it was awesome to see it first hand, and I am sure Josh will have photos up soon displaying my excellent photographic skills.
After we watched, it was time to head back to the car, return it, and head to Madrid. We did just that, and jumped on the train about 11am or so...
3 or 4 hours later (can't really remember at this point), we were in Madrid, and so freaking tired. Oh, by the way... at this point we haven't showered in 3 days and we are still wearing the same clothes we started with in Pamplona, red sashes and all. Anyway, we arrived ready to just find some internet and get a hostel. After about an hour of internet cafe time/wandering the streets time, we checked in to the Castilla Hostel II, right off the main center of town, Plaza del Sol.
We thought we were going to head out that night, but instead we all just fell asleep around 6pm or so, and never woke back up...
