Rodeo in Santa Cruz

Hi there,
 
long time no speak since I didn´t want to bored my stupid friends (Elad and Yoav - Antoine).
 
Anyway, in the last week I have been in Tamrindo a great beach town with lots of rich Americans that coming there for a short visit as we in Israel are used to go to Turkey.
 
Most of the days I spent by lying on the beach or walking miles on the beach to other beaches, surfing and dancing salsa at night.
 
After Tamrindo we went to Playa Samara a small chill out town, on the way we met 2 local girls that told us about a big Festival that taking place these days on Santa Cruz.
 
So after visiting in Samara and chill out for a while we went to Santa Cruz a cowboys town with only Costa Rican people that came for the Festival. it was a mess to find a room here  since it was full or too much expensive, but with some help of Isabel (the local girl we met on the bus from Tamrindo) she found us a lousy room for a descent price.
 
The atmosphere here in this town is amazing loud music every where you go and tons bottles of Imperial beer (the best Costa Rican beer), open market that selling bunch of stuff, and a Luna Park.
 
Now to all that add the Rodeo Arena that taking place in the middle of the town.
We went to a show of the bulls and saw many people get injured, flying in the air by the bull or just getting ran over by the mad bulls.
Today we even got inside the arena while the bulls are inside, it was so fucking amazing and you could fill the Andernaline in your bones crossing by.
 
Yaron, even got injured in the leg from the bull but I guess he will survive. I also touched the bull (only when it was tied up) and arras him a bit :-)
 
At night I used my dancing lessons in Salsa that I took in Israel and showed off on the Costa Rican girl.
 
till next time, adios
