July 2004 pt. 6
The Spain trip comes to an end with a bang in Madrid at a bullfight!  (Among other things)
Alhambra • Fountains...They work on gravity - there's no water pump here! Don Quixhote Hotel • Don washes his armor in the trough.  Remember Spanish III?
Toledo • Bull on the wall.  This one is a little friendlier than the real thing.
Madrid • Bernabeu • Scenic View.  80,000 rabid fans.  The most legendary Club in all of football.  As the visiting team, you'll probably lose.
Madrid • Bernabeu • Nine European Championships.  Three World Club Championships.  Two UEFA Cups.  27 League Championships.
Madrid • Bullfight • The horse is blindfolded so it doesn't run away.  The bull charges, runs into the protective mat, and is speared by the rider.
Madrid • Bullfight • The main Matador rolls out and toys with the dying bull until he puts his sword in its spine.  Steak time!
Madrid • Bullfight • Shireen manages a smile, but Mom looks sickly.
