Hi Nick,

My family and I arrived in Bunol, Spain yesterday. It's the town where La Tomantina is held on the last Wednesday of August every year. There are thousands of people here. Luckily, the weather has been wonderful. 

We stayed up late, but got up early this morning to attend the festival. We saw that some people had already placed the ham on top of the greasy pole. 

I have to go now. 

Carlos

Finally, we tried tomato Poella, a traditional Spanish rice dish. Together with local people and tourist, we enjoyed the good food and drinks. 

I'm still tired, so bye for now.

Carlos
