Now that WWWD week is over what to do!? Humm, hey how about a Bull Fight yes your heard me right. A Bull Fight in Ontario! Located next to York Soaring Club(which btw looked like alot of fun). I spent a few hours up there, but the weather was just to sunny and HOT, felt like 38C in the little shade you could find.
On Terceira(Azores), summer festas often include a traditional bullfight. These "bullfights" resemble more a running of the bulls than the stereotypical bullfight with elaborately costumed matador. Islanders line the street, sitting on walls while gates and side streets are barricaded off. The bull, trailing a long rope, is released into the road and the braver (or more foolhardy) in the crowd test their mettle against the angry, confused bull. Unlike Spanish bullfights, the bull is not killed although sluggish villagers are often injured.
If you haven't figured it out yet. My family roots go back to the Azores.
