Praia Street Bull Flight








In June when the Holy Ghost Festival ends, begins the summer street bull flighting on the island. They are daily beginning in June in different villages around the island. This is the first time we went to one. Gina our Portugese friend went with us and we found a person who was willing to let us in there front yard area to be safe behind the wooden boards. It was so neat. They let out 4 different bulls at different times. They light off Fireworks when the bull is out and when he goes back into the crate. Each time they switch the bull they do this. Kylor and Orion had great fun playing with the local kids and also in between the fights, Kylor would kick a worn out soccar ball with a few of the kids. Also Orion and Ky threw back and forth a 7up can they found on the street, such great entertainment while we waited.The locals are so friendly and nice to us here.
