Good Bye Frank

Today gentleman I took part in what some would call a traditional right of passage for Spanish men, a Matanza! A Matanza in English is known as a traditional pig slaughter, in when the pueblo gets together to have a party and kill a pig. All the year long students were invited and needless to say I was extremely excited. It was a great experience and something that is really cultural and unique to the Spanish. I met some chill people who spoke to me and told me about what the reasoning behind it is and everything. As a result I have some photos and a video, it gets a little gruesome so if you are squeamish I suggest not looking. As bad as it sounds and looks it is rather humane and not that bad!
