Kiting with the bulls - in Pamplona?

Post by lmontejo » Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:24 pm

As we were leaving from Sherman last Sunday, we spotted what we thought was a scene from the current San Fermines in Pamplona, Spain...

A red kite had blown into a field full of bulls, and the herd was running wild. Several bewildered kiters wondered how they were going to get it back since the kite (it must have been a Best???) was attracting much bull.

I attach some pics for your enjoyment. We left before it was recovered, but suspect that the kite was found in one piece but covered with much dung...

Enjoy!

Clearly a warranty issue. "I was just riding along, when all of a sudden..."
