Jaripeo

UPDATE: About five million people get to this blog because of the picture here on the right. What is it you are searching for?? I do not understand. Please leave a comment!

A lot of the little towns around here are named after saints, and host parties on the day of the year that recognizes the respective saint. Then, everyone from all the other little towns attend that town's party and everyone drinks and eats and has fun etc. They also host Jaripeos, or bull riding. Uricho had one last week and I got to see my first Jaripeo, which was not so thrilling and kind of strange.

I guess the bulls were a bit tamer during this jaripeo than most, but it was pretty silly in my opinion. The bulls obviously do not enjoy it, and people get really hurt. We saw one guy get stomped on and it did not seem pleasant. But, it was very fun to see *so many people* attending this event in this teeny tiny town. It is a giant party!

More and more visitors continue to come here, which is fun because it provides a variety of people to chat with. Soon there will be folks down for Day of the Dead. Things continue happening!
