cirque montecarlo

we finally made it to the circus. we were lucky, too, because they were going to cancel the show if not enough people showed up(yes, welcome to morocco). we decided to splurge a little by getting "box seats" and when i say box seats i mean the seats about three feet in front of the bleachers. we were so close that the kids could reach their hands out and almost touch the animals. a pretty scary thought when the tigers came out. i mentally had a plan ready just in case something went wrong. it seemed incredibly unsafe. there were kids ella's age riding on the elephants, and one that was barely able to run. seriously, he would take off running and then he would fall. they were so cute, though. they would climb all over the elephant and she would pick them up by her trunk and swing them around. looked like fun, but a little scary. there wasn't even any sort of net for the acrobats. if one of them was to fall, ella would have seen bones break. glad that didn't happen. the whole time i kept telling scott, "aina would die if she was here." oh, and there was a random break dancer in between acts. welcome to the french circus in morocco.
