The experience from running with the bulls was one that I don't think that I will ever forget. When we first got to Pamplona, I could not believe how dirty and smelly it was there. It's still been a big culture shock for me to see people just throw so everything on the ground. I thought that it was really cool to be able to watch the entire running of the bulls from the seats, and not have to worry about only maybe seing part of it on the street. After the running was over, I wasn't incredibly impressed. It seemed a little overrated for just over 2 minutes of running. However after they let the 6 younger bulls out, I thought the experience was better, but still the experience was less than I thought it would be. After the event was over I knew that I wanted to try churros with chocolate, and so after standing in line for about 30-45 minutes I finally had them. I thought they were amazing and well worth the wait. I spent the rest of the time just walking around the city and watching everyone. This is where I realized that it's more than just one part of the day for these people, but it's the entire day that makes the experience. I definitely want to try and come back in the future. I would even consider running with the bulls, I thought the younger bulls seemed more dangerous anyways.
