Bienvenido!

Welcome and thanks for visiting my blog!  I set this up in hopes of corresponding between my friends and family in the U.S. while I study abroad in Merida, Mexico.  I hope to give you a little piece of the fascinating culture and lifestyle of the people in Merida. Please come back again soon and check for daily updates while I am abroad!

Fotos from the Corridas

All of these photos go with my post from Feb. 3

Preparing the horses for the show (notice the scar)

¨Dancing¨ with the horse

In the middle of a fight

They use a special breed of bull for corridas because
they are so aggressive

With the forcados aka the craziest men of the bullfight

Brings a whole new meaning to ¨grabing the bull by the horns¨
The rejoneador with his ¨trophy¨

Just hanging out with the number 1 bullfighter in Mexico
No big deal!

¨A bull fight covers all aspects of life: excitement, fear, passion, and death¨

Yep, thats the ear...
