Terceira had to be the island that we were all waiting to go\nto. We all wanted to see the running of the bulls. While we were walking down\nthe street looking for a place to stand to watch the men run from the bulls, a\nnice man invited us to sit on his porch to watch. He offered us something to\ndrink as well. I felt like I was part of his family. In the US, if I wanted to\nwatch a sporting event at someone\u2019s home, they would ask for money. It was very\ndifferent in Terceira and I am so glad that I was able to experience that type\nof hospitality and kindness of a complete stranger. After we found our spot to\nwatch the bulls, some of the people in our group actually participated in the\nfestivities so we watched them run away scared of the bulls. I thought that it\nwas going to be a lot worse than it was. I thought that even though people are\nclose to a bull it was not dangerous like I thought that is was going to be. At\nthe end of the bull run, we got some food from a food cart. I got an\ninteresting hot dog that was absolutely delicious. It had mayo, ketchup and\npotato sticks on it. Don\u2019t knock it \u2018til you try it! After we ate, another\nfamily invited us into their house for some drinks and conversation. They were\nalso very nice and hospitable. There was also a man inside the house that was\nan artist and I was able to have a conversation with him about his amazing art\ntechniques. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
