Here's an interesting little film. Before you go passing over it, judging by front pic... this is the chegas de bois (arrival of the oxen) in Portugal. It is not bull fighting, as you may think it. This is nurture and feed and Love; then bring your bull along to meet your mate's bull and let them stand off and sort it out between them as to whose ring it is today. Then saunter on home for a vino or two... No blood, no toil, no betting, just dust from the soil. It's a thing of grace and beauty handsomeness. The bulls. Not the men. The bulls. They're gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteYou are right I would have passed judgement, but glad I watched it.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of watching, I absolutely loved watching both the memorial and the friendship ceremonies on Facebook! It was as if I was right there with all of you.
