"In bull-fighting they speak of the terrain of the bull and the terrain of the bull-fighter. As long as a bull-fighter stays in his own terrain he is comparatively safe. Each time he enters into the terrain of the bull he is in great danger. Belmonte, in his best days, worked always in the terrain of the bull. This way he gave the sensation of coming tragedy." -from The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

Ever since the first time I read this book, it's been one of my life goals to run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain during the Fiesta of Saint Fermin. Every year starting on July 6th, the world famous running of the bulls occurs once a day for 8-9 days. I don't really know why I think it would be fun, I just know that I WILL do it someday. Someday maybe sooner than I expect... Our friends Meg and Ben are in town this week hiding from hurricane Dennis. They live in Pensacola and unfortunately were evacuated from their home last week. Ben and I got to talking about running with the bulls, and he decided that we should go as soon as possible. So in a couple of years, we will be living the story of Jake Barnes, Robert Cohn, and the lovely Lady Brett Ashley. Hopefully I won't end up like these people...
