The six of us took two vehicles as we had to haul some of our overnight clothes, shoes, accessories and whatever else came into our minds to bring along with us for the hour drive to Pamplona. I shared the ride with Josie and Carmen. I was teasing Carmen because she actually let me drive her beloved vintage car.

"I just thought I'd let you ride Ruby while you're visiting. Have you noticed how I got it further modified since you were last here?" Carm quipped.

"I wouldn't know the difference because last time you wouldn't even let any of us touch your driver's bubble" I retorted with a laugh.

"Just be cautious with your driving okay?" she said as she rubbed the dashboard.

I looked back on the rear-view mirror just to see Josie holding back her laughter. I couldn't help but burst the little bit of laughter that started building up within me. A slightly forced tap landed on my forearm telling me that Carmen didn't find anything funny about the situation making Josie let out a bark of laughter. Carmen looked back and shot her a glare making me snicker in the process. I guess her glaring worked on Josie as she immediately stopped her laughing fit.

"I don't get what's so funny" Carm said with a huff while she crosses her arms on her chest. This I saw at the corner of my right eye. I reached over her shoulder to give it a squeeze

"Carm, we're sorry if we found your love for Ruby was quite amusing." I said solemnly as I gave her shoulder another squeeze

"It's alright. Laugh all you want but please do it while driving responsibly?" she stated as she moved my hand from touching her shoulder to the wheel. A slight snort came out of me as she did this.

"What? I told you to be careful!" she demanded in a high pitched voice making me cringe because her voice was too loud for my liking.

"Carm, if I knew that you would be such a spaz I wouldn't have taken up your show of altruism as just that." I said as I took the exit to the highway towards Pamplona.

"Yeah Carmencita, you know that we are just kidding right?" Josie leaned forward to show Carm her sad puppy face. I rolled my eyes as I heard a sigh leaving Carm's lips - an indication that she had let the matter go.

The anticipated hour drive to Pamplona was just that, anticipated. Once we were coming closer to the main routes it was harder as the townsfolk started closing off portions of the roads where the bulls were supposed to be running on tomorrow morning.

Luckily we have a special pass for them to let the vehicle through the one road to get us to Carm's parents' apartment building. Good thing they have a wide gated driveway that not only keeps the vehicles out of the way and safe from the coming throng of bulls and men tomorrow morning.

Once we were all settled in the apartment, we took turns in showering and calling it a night. I have managed to get back to my usual Grecian time zone. Well, close to it anyway. It's an hour difference but I'd rather have that than when I was still in North American mode. That would totally mess my body up big time.
