NOTES

Located in a 16th century market place, the bullfighting school uses young cows, heifers, in their training to determine which ones will be aggressive enough to breed for bulls.  In the first image, Pepe is choosing his cape and sword to use for the demonstration.  In the second image, Pepe shows us how it is done.  In the last two images, some men from our class try fighting the heifer.  All of them ended up on the ground.  One had his cape taken away from him by the heifer - she stood on it defiantly daring him to come get it.  We had to laugh when another man began stamping his foot at the cow to encourage her to charge.
