Day 5

I have never had so much adrenaline and fear running through me all at the same time before and it was all thanks to the //Fiestas de San Fermin// in the streets of //Pamplona//. After firstly planning to watch I found it in myself and in a shot or two of //Pacharan// (the local moonshine) to join in the running so I started to head to the starting point at //Plaza Santo Domingo// it was an amazing site hundreds of people all wearing white outfits with red bandannas as was I of course.

I was told it would start by the sound of two rockets being let off, locals told me the two rockets were to signal everyone to begin running and also signals to your heart to beat twice the normal rate, the first rockets signals that the bullpen is open and the second rocket is it signal that all 6 bulls were running. I was told to wait till the second rocket otherwise I would be welcomed at the stadium with booing from the crowd awaiting, I could help it after the first rocket my legs just reacted luckily for me the second rocket went off soon after I had began to run and at that point I knew I could run as fast as I could without being welcomed with enormous boos once arriving at the stadium I wasn't the first to arrive at the stadium but I believe I was the loudest one there the screaming came natural with the running, afterwards I felt proud and happy that I joined in I know now that I would have regretted not running

Adios
