Paint the Town Red with Tomatoes
By Max
Bunol, a small town in Spain, has a tomato fight in the last Wednesday in August. In other countries, when a war starts, we use guns, bombs, grenades and knives to defend ourselves and kill the enemies. But in Bunol, the tomato war consisted tomatoes as weapons. They first deliver trucks full of tomatoes to the town, and after that they start the war. They throw tomatoes at each other for two hours. I think they will be exhausted after the war! After the war, they go home with tomato juice and tomato putty on their clothes, hands and feet. So if you go to Bunol, why don’t you go the last Tuesday in August and watch the tomato fight tomorrow? You will think it is so fun and exciting to see the dirty men in the street and see the tomatoes flying around!
