OH ALSO I WENT TO A BULLFIGHT
I went to a bullfight last night! It was actually incredibly fascinating. I liked it less and less as it went on (there are six rounds and they are all more or less similar) but it was still very interesting, the beginning especially. I had no idea how much of a performance it is. I completely understand it as an art. Every movement and act is calculated and means something. Of the three biggest bullfighting rings in Spain, Sevilla is the most prestigious one to fight in (Toledo is where the bullfighters make the most money, and Madrid where they earn the most fame). I am so glad I went, though I will never need to go again. But I will say, it was absolutely mesmerizing.
