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.

639 kilos !


(photo by Maurice Berho)

A Miura bull tipped the scales at 639 kilos this year in Sevilla.

There must be another story to this photo with some of the crowd smiling, laughing, at applauding for the two trumpet players. What the story is though I don't know.

So many little things about the bullfight I don't know and probably will never know unless I live a few seasons in Spain.
