The Spanish state of Catalonia has banned bullfighting. Can't help feeling a bit sad but Hemingway reckoned that there hadn't been an honest bullfight since the 50's anyway. It's an odd sort of thing, difficult to understand. It's not a sport, it's a sort of ritual, very old, very alien. I've only been once to Spain and found it the most foreign place I had ever seen. Very old and very different. The people there had a quality that I found fascinating and difficult to describe. Again, very foreign. It was like another planet.
I hope they don't turn into us. I also hope that we don't turn into them.
