Tomatina - World's Biggest Annual Tomato Fight

Posted on Oct 8th, 2009 by mimi : MOONCHILD mimi
Tomato-throwing Festival


Just once, I would have liked to have participated in the Annual Tomatina event.  Several huge trucks slowly dump several tons of tomatoes onto the street.  Tomatina was started many years ago by 2 young guys back in 1944.   They are old now and they provide the tomatoes for the annual event. - 125 TONS!

Not as violent as The Running of the Bulls in Spain.  Only the Spaniards could think up these events!  People come from all over the world to participate.
 WhooHoo!!It would be fun if you, Nicole and I attended.  Anyone else game?

Oh Gawd no…I'd sooner be seen throwing tomatoes than the possibility of getting gored by a bull.
And if people want to have a fight/war…why don't they just throw tomatoes and fake all the blood, everyone can go home alive and happy and exhausted from a harmless outlet for this energy…?….yeahhhh…
