Goats On Ponies!

My friend Jonathan is a teacher. Last year, he got the coolest teaching job ever (at least to write home about): He teaches circus performers' kids in a one-room school house, all ages, all subjects. He has a room on the circus train, on which he has been traveling across the continent, becoming part of the Ringling circus family and getting to know the train yards of our country all too well.

And that is how I got hooked up with tickets to the show today. I took my aunt for a special birthday treat. I had two favorite parts:

1. Seven motorcyclists in this 5-meter sphere, going around at crazy speeds -- heartstopping.


2. Three goats riding their own ponies. Nothing can compare.


3. And of course, the elephants. Classic.



Thank you, Jonathan!
