excitement is in the Air!!!! amongst other things



If you have been following our little blog since its creation, you will remember that this time last year was a stressful and somewhat strange time.. We didn't have a car, we were completely culture shocked, and we were still trying to figure out why we dropped everything and moved to Botswana, and whether or not that was a wise decision.... Then Brian Boswell came to town...

If you're not familiar with Brian Boswell(not Brian Bosworth), he has a circus....
and he travels around southen Africa bringing joy and freakishly strange enterntainment to all those willing to sit in a dust bowl.. It's the kind of circus where the people in the acts prepare,serve and sell the candy/knick knacks... It's weird... the woman taming the lions was making us cotton candy during the break...
It's old school, and very fitting of Botswana... I can remember walking away from that circus experience thinking.... Where in the world are we? It's truly a surreal experience, and one I am prepared for this time..

Tomorrow night we go and I can't wait. Maura refuses to go, she is still traumatized from last time...Look at the clown in the picture.... Maura will never want to go to another circus because of this man.
Here's the link to their website. http://www.boswell.co.za/

Other than that, Kate has her best friend coming over for the night and there is a school fair to go to tomorrow morning...

Hope all is well at home... Go Reds!!!
