Circus trip

Pics include a freaky clown, an elephant tamer(notice the name of the circus in the back) Jacob and Kate after the show. Jacob and Kate with our friend Refilwe and her cousin and the Setswana Dance Group.

Well the circus was a smash. It was totally surreal, straight out of a Fellini movie. Lawn chairs as your seat and a dust filled, 150 degree tent that lacked any ventilation. But the show was good, the kids enjoyed it. There was this clown though who was totally freaky. He scared Maura each time he came out on stage (pictured) . When he was off stage, he would smoke as he watched the other performers. There were elephants, tigers, clowns, cotton candy, port-o-lets that couldn't be used because they were overflowing (Kate had to pee in a bush) which is something that happens all the time around here. Anyway, it was alot of fun. The highlight was a traditional dance group came out during intermission and danced a traditional Botswana number. The singing was beautiful.
