If you don’t like this kind of thing, you should have moved to a quieter country. LOL

Where we do fireworks on the 4th of July on a barge in the river (celebrating having shaken off you lot, by the way).

This brings back memories

Admittedly the clip showed a far more dangerous scenario than I ever found myself experiencing, but it still brought back memories of the October celebrations we have in my family’s town. Cuetes, torritos, castillos and all…I always Loved it. Though I tried keeping my distance my natural Mexican instinct led me to weaving in and out from el torro’s menacing path (did I ever tell you of the time I was chased by a real herd of bulls? Ok, so it was one bull and the rest were cows, but it was still terrifying!). I’d always get a rush, though I played it safe and wasn’t nearly as brave (or stupid really) to get right in front of it. It was lovely.

Thanks for sharing. I haven’t taken part in this kind of event in a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time. Last time I did, I ended up zig zagging my way to my aunt’s house, trying to avoid the dangerous sparks…and getting bitten by the neighbors “perrito”… so the clip has been a bit nostalgic for me.
