Spectators At The Corrida

.
Corrida At Villareal 11

I'll bring my camera to work today and try so start collecting local material at lunchtime. It's been so warm the trees and flowers are three or four weeks ahead of normal schedule so there's some dewey-fresh vegitation out there to shoot.

For now, a few more images from the corrida at Villareal, Costa Rica, last weekend. Above, two apparently bored young women who look particularly poignant in B&W. Below, the shield on the boy's shirt says New York City Training 1982. Well, English language tee shirts in Japan make even less sense. Last, the grandstand begins to fill before the show with a fair number of gringos in attendance. The boy on the far left is wearing a New York Mets baseball hat. The man with red horns is selling light-up trinkets to children.

It looks more and more like the portal is out of business. I relied on my Favorties page to scroll through my friends' blogs. I'm starting to reconstruct my own list so I can get back to regular commenting.

Thanks for all the kind comments yesterday on the anniversary post.

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?
