Bullfights in TJ


Tijuana bullring
I got a call from my friend Noe asking if I wanted to check out the bullfights in Tijuana this weekend and I hadn't ever been. Coincidentally, Michelle was hanging out in San Diego for the weekend so we decided pick her up on the way and to head down south. Bullfights are intense to say the least. Watching six bulls getting ceremonially killed right infront of you is shocking and emotionally draining. I'd seen it on t.v. before but wasn't totally prepared for the actual act. I had a great time, maybe i'll write a bit more about it later... here are some photos...

Everyone booed these guys..called picadors.. they were short fat dudes "like danny devido" on top of big horses..cause they stab the bull with these huge lances to weaken it...

I love bullfighting. I may consider bullfighting in stead of tennis.
