Original Toronto Star caption: Lemme out of here! Bearded tourist-turned-matador flees the path of a charging young bull at Benidorm on Spain's Costa Blanca. Tourists are invited to come down from stands and face Ferdinand in these bloddless bullfights. Real matadors are on hand to show you how it's done and from the stands the bulls look like little more than calves. But when they're coming at you, they look like a 10-ton-truck.

Clare and Bob Duck run Bob's Truck Stop in Campbellville for men who drove cross-country trucks, not for tourists. It's good, plain, solid food cooked to keep a trucker satisfied for the next 300 miles. Mrs. Duck says. Tourists tend to eat lighter foods like salads. Duck is a mechanic and worked in the Arctic for 13 years, taking supplies in by cat train. They opened the restaurant in January.
