August Fiesta (BULLS) in Genoves

I wasn't sure what my reaction would be seeing one of these young animals enclosed in a alien environment with hordes of people, I needn't have worried a young bull is more than capable of looking after itself.

The first event of the day was for youngsters, some were in fancy dress, not the ideal apparel when trying to outrun a bull that weighs over a ton, and can move a lot quicker than I ever expected.

There was a party atmosphere, and for those taking part there was two objectives. Don't get hit by the bull, and soak the spectators (mainly the girls) with water. I wondered why there was a skip full of water in the corral, and lots of buckets and hose pipes, thankfully it was a very hot day,and we didn't mind seeing the girls getting wet.
