Ole!
My first (and most likely last) bullfight. Salient impressions:
1) Even though I'm notoriously color blind, I was stunned by the bulls' blood. Such a brilliant Technicolor scarlet it looked fake. (It wasn't.)
2) I actively hated the picadors (Spanish for " fat fuckers on horseback who repeatedly stab the bulls with long spears".)
3) Having owned a dog all my life, I couldn't help rooting for the bull.
Someone told me today that cockfighting is a much better sport 'cause at least it's a fair fight.
