Cirque du Solei

We went to see Kooza, the Cirque du Solei traveling French circus show last night.  How amazing!  No animal acts- all comedy, clowns, contortion, acrobatics, and music.  We've never seen anything like this.  It's not what I normally think of as a circus.  It's much more of a show.  In fact, I know they do a lot of this in Vegas.

Contortionsits.

High wire act.  The men on the bottom were on bicycles on a high wire.... supporting the man on the chair above them.

And the crowd favorite- the Wheel of Death.  These guys are beyond belief... spinning and running and flipping inside and out of the rings. 

The show is in Portland for a month.  Our son called us yesterday and said he had tickets for us.  What a surprise! We had an evening to remember.
