The last part of Barcelona - (July 25-Aug 4)

Collar down Tom.

Joanna and her favorite tree

Cecil loves her some chips.  Tom is clearly not impressed.

Schmad toasting the fountain

Kristen, Lindsey, Cristina, and Joanna at the sweetest fountain ever

me.  The fountain doesn't look so sweet anymore.

Heiko, Tom, and Joanna.  Heiko has never seen a camera before.

The sweet fountain

David Hasselhoff in Barcelona.  Or Schmad.

Beauty and the beast.

The beast can read

The place where bulls get slaughtered.  It was awesome.

Our main man.  He was a sweet bull slayer.

Sweet bull ring

These pink guys were the warmups... They'd tire the bull out a bit, then hide.

This dude was round 2.  That's a spear in his hand, and he stabbed it in the bull's neck.  The horse is wearing armor because the bull charges it.

The gang watching the slaughter

After the dude speared the bull, they ran up to it shoved these spikes in them.  Just for good measure.

This bull is tired, and bored.

ZING!  Spear in the neck.

Where am I? 

Game over.

Just kidding!  Yank his tail and he gets back up!

Really?  Now the dude really kills him.

Here comes the classic "Sword in the back of neck" trick.

Fresh meat!

That's where the old meat goes

I am the champion!  Viva Salvador Vega!

What a stud.  The babes all threw him flowers.

Ryan wants to be a bullfighter now.  Matador maybe?

Nothing like some steaks at Hard Rock after a bull fight.  Just kidding.  I had chicken and ribs.  It was delicious.
