90% of people in the French Quarter that morning were dressed for the Running, getting many a perplexed look from locals out of the loop. |
Here they come! |
The running begins - and I've forgotten to change the settings on my camera...! |
Of course, not everyone remembered that the Running of the Bulls happens in Spain, not Mexico. |
Here come the bulls... and a mysterious mustached lady... |
Mimes are totally relevant... right? |
Fairies too? Porque no? |
Grandma's got game! |
Never stop to retie your scarf when being chased by bulls. |
Would this be an amazing publicity pic for them or what? |
Run Away! |
Whatever you do, don't let this one catch you! |
Cultural Bastardization seemed to be a recurring theme... |
Even dresses wore mustaches! (Second from the left) |
Of course, the San Fermín festival would unknowingly coincide with Spain's FIFA World Cup Victory a few days later. |
Some Country-Appropriate Costumes |
BAM! Apparently Mario decided to join the parade after his sex change surgery... |
A very brave mother! |
Another great action shot. Check out the REAL mustache on the left!! |
Cute girl in a not-so-authentic Sevillana dress. |
Lovely Authentic-Looking Sevillana Hairdo |
Elvises on Parade |
It may not be culturally sensitive, but it sure is cute! |
Some people forgot to wear red... He forgot to wear white. |
Some Recycling from the Pirate Festival |
What's Jack Black doing here? |
Vikings are totally relevant |
More recycling from Cinco de Mayo |
Hope you enjoyed them!
