In the beginning of September I had the chance to go to a bullfight in Mexico City. Even though it is not a sport, it has great similarities in its structure as a form of entertainment. The bullring I went to is located inside a restaurant called ARROYO. This place specializes in not only Mexican food but Mexican traditions as well. Besides the bullfights, which they have organized every fall for eleven years now, the place offers a Mexican Traditions Festival that includes from food to crafts to music and dancing spectacles.
I also had the opportunity to talk to some bullfighters and business people involved which is a great way to understand what they do. It is really obvious that the bullfighters are good athletes; they need a set of physical skills to be able to do their job.
Overall it was an incredible experience because the festive environment among the fans and the passion and sensibility they have makes it a unique spectacle.
I also had the opportunity to travel to New York a few weeks ago specifically to visit both Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium, both on their last year. My brother and I had tickets for a Braves@Mets game on Friday and for Rays@Yankees game on Saturday. However the first game was postponed because it rained.
The next day we went to the Yankee game in the afternoon. I have to say that it was an incredible experience just being there as a baseball fan, one that I will never forget. We didn’t want to miss the opportunity to go to Shea Stadium, so after the Yankee game we made it to the Braves@Mets second game of a double-header. It was a very long day with a lot of baseball, but it was a great day, one of the best days.
