Festa Time

The forcados arriving at the bullring, carrying their hats. In Mike's Blip, you can see what they do. They are from poorer families, hoping to win glory for themselves.

In the extras, the cavaleiros on their beautiful horses, from much richer families. In the first, coming out of the bullring; in the second, smiling, presumably, at the owners of the bulls - very rich men.

As you can see, I didn't go into the bullfight with the others. Walked home instead, and had a bit of a frightening experience... but gotta go now, for dinner at Cecílio and Ermelinda's, with Padre Luís, where we also had lunch.

Gratefuls:
- that no-one was hurt at the bullfight
- the incredible atmosphere at the bullring
- C and A's amazingly generous hospitality
