Life has felt a little like a circus in the Hoff "Big Tent". My children are more like two tigers fighting with each other, I am the girl walking on the highwire trying to keep my balance and our much beloved Ring Master is out of the country on a business trip. Therefore, I decided to head to the matinee performance of "
Circus Carl Busch" that is currently here in Stuttgart because
if you can't beat it, join it!

And boy did we join it...SERIOUSLY-HOW does it happen that I get bitten by a horse AT A CIRCUS?!?! Ok, so I'm getting used to not having safety precautions everywhere here in Germany like in the U.S. (obviously there aren't many lawyers waiting to jump on a liabilty suits here) For example, playgrounds having REALLY tall steep slides, zip lines going fast, not all steep cliffs have a fence and the best example my friend, Elizabeth, pointed out; here at the zoo, you could, (if you were a nut) stick your arm into the leopard cage and give her a nice stroke...but thank goodness for that ONE little sign in German that reads, "Crossing the Barrier forbidden" otherwise we would all be in trouble!

| Pretty! |
We both seemed to notice at the circus today, there were no barriers between us and the animals that were running at a fast pace around the ring. That is until a fence was quickly assembled prior to the Lions taking the front and center. However during the break, I guess they forgot to put up a barrier between me and the big ole black horse that had been petted one too many times by all the energetic children. Note to self-NEVER think it is safe to follow behind a bunch of kids and pet a huge black horse that has danger written all in it's eyes.
It is nice to be home tonight in my safe Circus where the animals may be a little loud and unruly at times, but they don't bite!
