In my teenage years, in 1959, at the Festival of San Fermin, in Pamplona, Spain I met Ernest Hemingway and swapped botas with hima tradition in which you toss your goat skin pouch sealed with pitch and filled with wine to your acquaintance or friend, and, at arms length, each squirts the wine around his nose and it runs down into the mouth. I was there running the bulls in that famous year of the mano a mano in which worlds Numero Uno, The Great Domingun, was defeated by his brother-in-law, Antonio Ordez. I have Ordezs and Hemingways autographs on a bullfight ticket.
