The GCW Tour, Spain & Morocco: San Fermin -- Now I Get It

I can be slow, but I get there eventually. Walking around this morning -- more on that later -- I finally realized what San Fermin is:

It's Spring Break. 

Why are all the Australians here? Because in Australia it's the dead of winter, so Australian college students are looking for someplace warm with a party going on.

Why all the students, generally? Because there's a party going on, so where else would they be?

Why run with the bulls? Why do any of the dumb-ass things college students do? Why not? You're immortal.

Aside from the cultural flavor added by the bulls, being in Pamplona for San Fermin seems an awful lot like being in Cancun or Ft. Lauderdale in February. 

All that's missing is MTV.
