I can imagine how much that experience must have stayed with you. <br /><br />Debra and Stacey, as always thank you for your insightful comments and holiday wishes. I had a wonderful time and have at least a weeks worth of photos (I think!). I just wish it could have lasted longer...Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-6887248554881032452011-04-25T02:09:09.466+02:002011-04-25T02:09:09.466+02:00I went to Spain when I was 17 and we attended a bu...I went to Spain when I was 17 and we attended a bullfight. I was along with a couple who had been in a concentration camp, the only ones there crying. Obviously those bulls were not as smart as the one you saw. Hopefully people will not derive pleasure from the torture of an animal whether its a bullfight or dogfight. Whats the difference? Personnally I prefer a candlelit dinner and a good book for my entertainment!nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016401570443401148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-69232715619191816002011-04-24T04:37:34.544+02:002011-04-24T04:37:34.544+02:00I'm not a big one for the concept of bull figh...I'm not a big one for the concept of bull fighting but I try not to be judgmental about other cultures' customs.

I realize it’s their custom but that doesn’t mean I have to watch. I hope the young man who was hurt realized his dream no matter the outcome. <br /><br />I hope you have a very Happy Holiday with your friends, enjoy Easter!<br /><br />Debra, <br /><br />(I gave Dylan dog scratchies from you as instructed, he says thank you!)Acquired Objectshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065566296202199461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-50817692160115720812011-04-23T17:56:31.316+02:002011-04-23T17:56:31.316+02:00Oh Hooray!

I can't wait to learn more about you--being an expat is such an unusual experience isn't it? <br /><br />Definitely wishing I could be home with the rest of my family tomorrow though.

But the surprise for us is that they take place in France, rather than solely, as we thought, in Spain.<br /><br />As exiles from our native land, we too, much as you have suggested, believe that local customs and traditions must be accepted for what they are. It is, after all, the experience of a different culture which makes living abroad so very fascinating.<br /><br />We are signing ourselves as Followers to keep in touch.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
