Bullfights

I was invited to Las Ventas yesterday to watch the rejoneo.

You can be very against bullfighting, but you have to be in awe of the talent of these riders…

    I like it when the bull wins. ;-)

      Have you heard the joke about the guy who goes into a restaurant next to the bull ring every day and orders the testicles after the bullfight?

      One day he goes in and they’re REALLY small.

      “What’s this?”, he asks.

      “Senor, the bull, he does not always lose…”

    I do believe I told you that one at Casa Botin…

    Anyhow, the horses are wonderful.

      That could be. Yeah, the horses are great.

      I didn’t realize “Botin” means “booty” until I ran it through babelfish the other day.

      Now I’m wondering what “house of booty” refers to.

    The name is actually the family name of the founder. He was French.
