La Tomatina

Two days away from La Tomatina.
I am very excited!
Today the campsite will fill with Aussies part of an organized trip package for the festival.
Translation: 300 drunk Aussies and Kiwis are on the way.
Tonight the celebration begins... and tomorrow I head to the small town of Bunol, where the festival will take place.
The night before, the entire town drinks in the streets. I am only taking an extra shirt so I can just pass out in the park that night.
The next morning will kick off with the climbing of the greased up pole, for the hamleg at the top.
As I mentioned...
I want it.
And then come the trucks full of tomatoes which everyone throws at everyone else for exactly one hour.
I will try to buy a waterproof (or rather tomato proof) camera to record the days events.
Promises to be a good time.

Tomatina festival! jealous... Don't forget to squish the tomato before throwing it. I'm expecting a video of a red nate drunkenly swinging a big ham leg next post. Please deliver.
