Chinese Circus

When I saw The pictures for Circo da China, it drove me crazy! It is beautiful, beautiful ... It reminds me of Cirque de Soleil. Who can resist?

I knew I had to go, had to take the girls. We never know when we will have the opportunity to see it again.

I invited friends, family, everyone. And it seemed lots of people wanted to go too. We were 10 in total, but we took a while to close the deal, the seats sold out, we were left out.

The only way was to go during the week, get the cheaper seats. In the end, we were only 5. Me, my kids, Luciane and her boyfriend, who just appeared in our lives...

The girls dressed up, we were all ready to go

The plan was to leave at 6, but Fernando, the new guy on the block thought he was the star ofnthe show, took ages to get ready and delayed our departure in an hour.

And off went our evening. When the show was almost over, we decided to stop driving in circles, we took the first bridge, we returned and drove back to Campinas. In silence. We stopped at Mac Donalds to eat a cardboard sandwich and went to bed. 11 pm we were all in bed.
