Inside the Travel lab are bringing us scenes of tomato-destroying mayhem from Spain. Possibly not as brutal as the raging bulls in Pamplona, it still can have its moments, especially if a non-too ripe fruit hits you in the eye!
Spain’s tomato festival, by JPO2, The Muddy Suit Man
I don’t know about you, but my taste is somewhat different. I prefer my tomatoes much better behaved and either in a salad or a delicious sauce! I also know that tomato’s red colour lycopene promotes health and longevity, so I’d hate to waste it!
Would you go as far as Spain/consider it part of your holiday fun to abuse such a charming vegetable?

Charming vegetable? Don’t believe it!
I’m still recovering from the after-effects…and so is my photographer! When he’s better, I’ll show you the photos…
PS – apparently the flowing tomato is as good for your skin as a facial, so the lycopene isn’t entirely wasted

Wishing you a quick recovery, at least in time for the next life-threatening blog post!
