Tomatina

Finally! The much-awaited photos from the Tomatina Festival in Buñol!! This was one of the first adventures I got to have during this trip to Spain, back on August 25th. Enjoy! (Psst… if you’d like a news clip from the festival this year, here you go! Maybe you’ll see me if you look close enough ;) )

Me, pre-tomato madness:

“Ole, ole ole ole!”

There you have it: short, but sweet! If you want to know more about the Tomatina festival, a quick search on Google.com will give you lots of helpful sites (and exciting pictures). It was a great time! :)
