Here I am standing in Spain. Behind me is the Minho River and Portugal. It's the closest I have ever gotten
to being in two places at the same time.

Everyone got up when the bullfighter was wounded and was taken out on the stretcher. We were all worried
about the poor guy. I'm the one at the left and my three Spanish friends are with me. The one at the right is Maria Luisa.

This was a bullfight in Toledo, Spain. The bullfighter ended up being taken out on a stretcher because he
stepped on one of the knives that had fallen on the ground with one foot and it cut through his other foot. In one side and
out the other. So this was one of the few occasions where the bull gets to win.

This is Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico. You can see someone flying through the air being pulled by a boat. A
lot of fun!Everyone does it, but no way, not me. I wouldn't dare get up in the air like that. It's much safer on the ground.
We had fun just looking. Let somebody else break his neck. Not us.
