the Tomatina was absolutely amazing! If you planned on being sick or having your car break down. The Tomatina is "The world's biggest food fight", everyone throws tomatoes at each other. So of course we were very excited about participating in this event. Well the day before we were all getting prepared, getting our goggles and old clothes all together and Kirsten got sick. She was extremely bummed because she couldn't go with a fever. So the morning of Brent, Mckenzie, Riley, Cassie, and Mckenzie's friend Demian left for the tomato fight at 730am.
On the freeway, the car started made a noise that made everyone in the car cringe. like nails on a chalkboard. We pulled off to a town called Chiva. we stopped and found the the car was leaking, leaking fast. So we started the car again and the car stopped making noise, We all climbed back into the car and kept going toward Bunol. Mistake.... In the middle of the freeway El Coche shuts down. All the kids including our guest Demian got out and started pushing, on the freeway
toward Bunol. Within 5 minutes there were 2 police cars around us making sure the traffic went around us. We called the Tow truck to come and it ended up taking not the 30 minutes they told us but 2 and a half hours. By the time the tow truck had come it was 15 minutes to 11 and the tomato fight started a 11. We all started flagging down taxis trying to find a ride. Luckily we found one and all the kids piled into the taxi and we're off. Well by the time we all got to the tomato fight it was over. So yeah it was an awesome. We did make it to see the huge crowd and the town which smelt of over-ripe tomatoes, beer, and sweat.

We were only there for about 1 hour and then we were ready to go home, we called the insurance agency for a taxi. When we got home we still had to deal with El Coche. We all had to push the car to the repair shop 10 blocks away. I always used to laugh at the people who had to push their car but, never again.
this is what the repair man told us:
Su coche es un coche de mierda "Your car is a car of S@#$."

Too bad. I know Kirsten was looking forward to it. Although I saw a news clip of the fight and it looked a little scary-sooo many crazy people. Does this mean your car is dead?
When I heard about your bad luck, I was sad for you. Better luck next time.
