I may have been misleading. I don’t actually have a map of trash cans and my true strategy is to run like Hell and stay close to the walls of the street.

We do have one, bit it is sketchy to get it in, they aren’t allowed. We are also having to sneak a male blow up doll on too, since the bachelor is smarter than us and won’t go.

Please update us on your experience assuming you survive. I’ll be looking for you in the news video. Does your wife know you are doing this? Mine would go crazy if I ever mentioned doing something so inherently dangerous especially in a foreign country.
My wife would take that in stride and say “there goes that crazy SOB again” 
But there ain’t no way that I’m doing that. Raced my grandparent’s bull across the pasture many times to get to the fish pond, but I was a lot younger and the bull beat me once.

I had that same experience Larry only at a close friends farm. The bull never caught me to make contact, but he treed me one time. He stood at the bottom of the tree for hours. I can’t remember how I actually got out of that tree, pretty sure I blacked out and woke up at home.

So I just got to ask. Why

People ask me the same thing about going to the ledge. Why did anyone on this site head over the horizon the first time? You’re seasoned enough that you were probably with your dad or something, so it may not be a great analogy. I did it because of the opportunity and the challenge. I was early 20’s and a guy I worked with succumbed to my pleas to take me shrimping for the first time, it was on from there.
Not really sure, just positive that I’m doing it. It’d be cliche to say anything like the thrill or the story, but when it was mentioned as being the week before the wedding, it was immediately on the itinerary.
It’s mostly about doing what I’d otherwise think I could never have the chance to do, drawn to that for some reason. I had never heard of shrimping before that guy’s stories around the office, now I’m able to go to the ledge in my own boat with my own gear and my own knowledge. Just had to be done those first times.

More power to you 
I understand a wild hair The ocean doesn’t worry me a bit, those bulls on the other hand…
I equate that with chumming the water until you get a good shark feed going on, then jumping in and see if you can beat them back to the boat. To each their own

Ran 3 days in 1984 when I was 18. First day we were at the front of the crowd and ran into the Plaza De Toros way ahead of the bulls. Folks in the stands were all whistling as we ran in. Thought how incredible! Then they started spitting and learned shortly thereafter that whistling was the same as booing and we were wussies for running from the bulls instead of with the bulls. Next two days got a little closer, but never in the pack. There was an American serviceman who was seriously injured and may have died if I recall. As the bulls come into the stadium, everyone counts them and if there are any stragglers, then you know there was trouble on the course. So long as they keep moving in a pack, you are ok. Ones that get seperated and start freaking are trouble. A straggler came running in with his head dripping with blood well after the pack. That was the bull that gored the serviceman.
And a fun part is after the bulls are all herded in the corral, they let 2 or 3 juvenile bulls with their horns covered with a leather sheath loose for the runners at the plaza de toros. They can still flip you and hoof you, but can’t gore you.
I may take your approach and lie to everyone back home…

Iused to not be completely truthful in telling the story. Slowly over the years become more truthful about it. Have a blast!
Proof
I ran with the bulls, guess which one I am. I didn’t hang out in the ring much, too scared. That definitely seemed to be where it all hits the fan. To dodge a charging small bull, I tossed a little man over a fence because he was far too slow to allow me to get out of the way.

He lives! Orange tiger paw?

Si, that’s me. Really exciting time. Way more anticipation than execution. A bull turned back from in front of me and was running the wrong direction. That’s the most “real” it got while I was running. I pinned myself to the wall and used two Spaniards as human shields for a while. The bill was corrected and never came too close. It is really exciting when the police on the fence above you is pointing everywhere and yelling “Toro, Toro, Toro”.
