La Corrida

.
Corrida At Villarreal 6

There was bull riding and bull baiting Saturday night at the corrida and fiesta in the little town of Villareal, just up the road from Tamarindo. It's after midnight as I write this, we just got in from the airport and I'll have to explain all this loco-ness later on Monday.

I've been a little out of touch while in Costa Rica. Can anyone tell me what happened to the portal?

    I think I'd have enjoyed this.

    I wish I knew what happened to the portal...

    I will have to inquire about this on a future visit. I have driven through Villareal contless times on the way to Tamarindo, but have stopped only to buy appliances at the store in when I needed something new for one of the condos, or to photograph the little local church and town square/soccer field/cattle chute.

    The first photo is especially dramatic.


    And the portal...? Who knows? The word 'portal' to me in itself is mysterious...and recalls science fiction, so...

    Very nice night photography. I like the "band".

    Excellent set of images of La Corrida Bob, although surely they don't stick spiky things in the bulls anymore do they.
