Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Never seen this before, grapes given to the bullfighter while taking his vuelta al ruedo.

I'll have to ask someone once I get over to Spain the significance of giving bullfighters things like grapes, asparagus, roosters, etc. while they are taking their lap around the bullring.
