Pamplona addendum

Yesterday when we arrived in Pamplona the city was alive and in the midst of a festival

Until this morning when I chatted a Spanish fellow (English speaking) we didn't know what the celebration was about. He explained that the festival of the past two days is the children's version of 'Running of the Bulls. The adult version occurs in July and is Pamplonas largest annual festival.

The children's version is the second largest fiesta.  Adults run with a one wheel unicycle type apparatus with horns mounted on the front of it and the kids run through the streets.

There were people everywhere.  Fireworks from 10-10:30.  At 3am the party was still going strong, we know because we could hear them. When we left our hotel at 7:50 this morning the street was full of debris.....and for some the party was not yet over.  An Irish fellow said that he thought the Irish could drink, but they have nothing on the Spaniards!
