Hi this is JACK the guest blogger!!! I went to the Bullfighting Arena with my family and my Uncle Mason and Leslie (his partner) This is a photo of the stadium. This is where there are people called MATADORS. And the Matadors do more than just wave a red flag they have a spear behind the flag and when the bull runs past they grab the spear and throw it at the bulls neck.
This is my Uncle Mason and I in the stands.
When the matador kills the bull the crowd carries him or her out on their shoulders. These doors where double story height and only open when the matador wins.
This is the top of the stand in the arena where everyone watches. The city provided the money to build the arena to the city guard soldiers. These soldiers to protect the royal family and the arena was originaly used to train for battle.
This is a picture of a matador dodging the bull but there is no spear here.
There are bulls heads that have been killed over the years and a picture of some matadors. There was a bull they spared because he fought so bravely, and he only died last year.
This is me and Amy standing in front of a suit that a guy wore when he was 14. He got killed by a bull at the age of 22. The guy started at 9 years old.
These are the main matador suits that they wear.
This is the chapel. Where they pray before a fight. They pray that they don't die, it's a fair fight and its a bit of meditation.
Thats the end of my blog hopefuly I can do it again!
