My uncle told me the crowded people here were around 38,000 and this was more than four times the population of Bunol.

The tomato fight started as soon as the first banger(鞭炮) exploded. Then everyone 7. (include)me started throwing tomatoes at each other. I took red tomatoes and threw them at anyone that ran, moved, bent down, 8. turned around. Tomatoes must be squashed(压软) before people threw them in order not 9. (hurt) anybody.

After a little while, the streets, people and nearby buildings were splashed with red. There was no 10. (win) in this fight, but we all had fun. As soon as the second banger exploded, people stopped throwing.

I really had a great time. I wish you were here, too. I hope I hear from you soon. Take care.

With love,

From Spain
