From July 4th – 14th, 2010, we traveled to Spain and France to Run with Bulls and watch Spain go for the World Cup title.
We arrived in Madrid, Spain. Great city. Rented an RV and headed to Burgos.
Burgos is a great little town. If you visit Burgos, you need to go to the best pub in the city – not sure of the name, but it has pictures all over the walls and is really old. Late at night did some urban cathedral climbing on this bad boy:
This was really exciting, dangerous, and fun.
July 6th, 2010 – Arrived in Pamplona, Spain for the Running of the Bulls (San Fermin). It is a week long festival where every morning they run about 10 or so bulls to the stadium. We got there and first got our outfit.
When you go you need to bring:
white pants
white shirt
red scarf belt
and a red scarf for around the neck.
There are a ton of street merchants selling the gear so you can just pick it up when you go. You should look something like this:
So on July 7th, 2010 – the day we ran, we showed up to the main street about 6am to get ready to run. We hung out on the track and about 7:30 in the morning we heard a huge boom. The other runners immediately took off running and I looked back and saw 5 or 6 huge ass bulls running right for me. I immediately climbed a wall and let first group past me. Right after they passed I took off as fast as I could chasing them on their toes. As I’m running I hear another huge Boom. I look back and there is another group of 5 or 6 bulls coming right at me ready to trample me. Again, I dove off into the side and climbed a wall to let them pass… Proceeded to take off running right behind them again. The whole path is probably about a half mile run.
Watched a couple people get messed up and trampled and carried out on stretchers. Wild stuff in general. Here is a picture of me running right behind the bulls:
The next day, went to a bull fight in Pamplona. Crazy. All i can say is be prepared to get completely covered from head to toe in Sangria and also watch 6 bulls get stabbed to death by the Matador. We were sitting in the most wild section in there… Here is our point of view while at the bullfight:
We had great seats at this fight
Headed to St. Sebastion to stop off at the Ocean and then rode into Bourdeux, France, or Wine Country. Toured a private vineyard which was really cool.
It was nice drinking wine that was made from plants right behind you. Not only was this some of the best wine in the world, but it made it a million times cooler because of the fact.
Voila!
Headed to Lourdes after Wine country and checked out fountain of youth and some other really cool places. It is a HUGE place for Catholics.
Here’s us in Lourdes, France.
After Lourdes we traveled through the Pyrannees mountains. So beautiful. The Tour De France was going to be taking the same path we went on in about 3 days. Traveled down to Zaragoza and then made our way to Barcelona.
July 11, 2010. Spain won the World Cup. The city erupted immediately with bombs going off. (They were actually just like m80 fireworks) and tens of thousands of people rushed into the streets and main square. I decided to climb a tree and start a Viva L’Espana chant. Got a big group of happy Spaniards chanting with me.
The city partied all night long with drum players and fireworks and everything you can’t even imagine going on. Really wild time to be in Spain.
Definitely recommend to visit Spain and run with bulls next year. I’m sure I’ll be going back.
About 6 months ago Hollis and I got connected to this super wealthy dude who has the craziest life EVER.
Immediately after meeting him we began traveling more and implementing many of the strategies that he uses…
He invited us to Spain to run with the bulls, and we accepted the invitation…
We spent 8 days in an RV traveling to Madrid, Burgos, Pamolona, St. Sebastion, Bourdeux, Lourdes, Zaragosa, and Barcelona and had one of the best times in the entire world.
Needless to say, if you are stuck in an RV with a super successful multi-millionaire for over a week
– you become great friends.
Well, this mystery multi-millionaire runs about 5 super successful businesses that I know of, so part of a side goal for Hollis and I was to learn and implement his main business.
The business that brings him ~100k every single month, and will for the rest of his life. Best part about this is that he doesn’t have to do anything!
(I realize this sounds absolutely crazy, but the fact of the matter is that it is 100% true and I vouch for it with all my heart.)
He has literally just been traveling to well over 100 countries and gallivanting around the world.
What we learned on that trip has changed our lives forever and we got something really cool set up for you.
He has NEVER done anything like this…
He is going to let you in on the exact same information that we learned over our 8 days together traveling Spain
and France.
This live webinar will NOT be recorded.
It will change your life.
…and it is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
