Day Three of Giving Thanks:
Tonight I got to experience my first Honduran circus...and I can't say I hated it.
Actually, it was kind of great, certainly no Ringling brothers, but for a third world country, I'll TAKE it! Enjoyed some entertaining acts, like a super flexible girl who was twisting her body in ways I never thought it COULD twist. Throw in a dancing girl in a huge Dora the Explorer suit and you're in for some fun! Really, though, Dora was creepy. They had some dogs doing some cute tricks on it's hind legs. (I would just like to point out that MY dog, Bella, has done that without anyone ever having to train her. Clearly, she'd be great in the circus.) An adorable little boy making jokes made the whole thing pretty great. To top it all off, there was a gigantic snake that they laid on one of the side ledges and then TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF! I really thought I was going to die, especially when a well built, grown man literally jumped over the side and momentarily abandoned his family out of his own fear. However, we all made it out alive. Anyway, long story short, if you haven't experienced a Honduran circus, you just don't know what you're missing!
Above all else, I'm thankful for good friends to enjoy this stuff with. Life in Honduras is ANYTHING but dull.
