Hi Nick,
My family and I arrived in Bunol, Spain yesterday. It’s the town where La Tomatina is held on the last Wednesday of August every year. There are thousands of people here. Luckily, the weather has been wonderful.
We stayed up late, but got early this morning to attend the festival. We saw that some people already placed the ham on top of greasy pole.
Yesterday was the most exciting day of my life! In the morning many people tired to climb up the pole to get the ham. At 11 a.m. we saw a jet of water coming from the water cannons and the chaos began. Bags of tomatoes from trucks were thrown to the crowds, and we began throwing tomatoes at one another. We all had to wear goggles to protect our eyes. After one hour, we saw another jet of water and stopped throwing. The whole town square was red with rivers of tomato juice. Finally, we tired tomato paella, a traditional Spanish rice dish. Together with local people and tourists, we enjoyed the good food and drinks.
I’m still tired, so bye for now. Carlos
