In the summertime, toiros acorda, (translated, bull on a rope) is one of the biggest social events of the year on the island of Terceira. Also, in the summertime, Terceira consumes more beer than all of the other 8 islands of the Azores combined. Word to the wise: If you plan on running with the bull, be mindful of your beer consumption! As you can see from these photos, the guy in the blue T-shirt hopefully learned his lesson; if was sober enough to remember!
These photos were sent to me by my cousin, Joe... Thanks Joe! Note: Neither the bull or the man were killed. (Portugal doesn't kill it's bulls) The guy suffered some bruises and cuts however.
