I've had two wonderful things happen. First, I found out that I'm staying on this farm until Wednesday, I had originally thought that I'd be leaving Monday, and I have to admit, I was a little bit sad. This farm has been great, and I feel really comfortable and at home here. I suppose I should get to the feeling of departure though, because there are three more to come after this. I'm still happy to be staying until Wednesday though.
The second wonderful thing was that we went to the circus! Now I've never been to any sort of circus before, but I'm sure that nothing would've been like this. It's like a traveling gipsy show, they roam about in a caravan and set up their show for weekends in the small towns. There were really great acts ranging from juggling, contortionists, chickens riding a bicycle on a tight rope, and some really neat acrobatic type stuff. This girl had a bit where she would climb up and wrap herself around these two hanging pieces of silk, which was really impressive, especially when she'd wrap herself up in some special way and then just let herself fall and she'd come tumbling down. The whole thing was hilarious, all the more so because of how little I understood. I was really impressed not only with the show, but also the community. People get really involved in their areas here, and there's loads going on all the time. For a first circus experience, it was the tops.
