Cirque and Strawberries

Last Tuesday, after our frantic Monday dash to Ticketek (with a Twix Mint celebratory chocolate), we finally were able to watch Cirque De Soleil's Varekai . The show was pretty awesome! Of course, no pictures allowed, so all I could take a picture of was the tent.



Some details about the show...

VAREKAI

Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world—a world where something else is possible. A world called Varekai.

From the sky falls a solitary young man, and the story of Varekai begins. Parachuted into the shadows of a magical forest, a kaleidoscopic world populated by fantastical creatures, this young man sets off on an adventure both absurd and extraordinary. On this day at the edge of time, in this place of all possibilities, begins an inspired incantation to life rediscovered.

The word varekai means "wherever" in the Romany language of the gypsies the universal wanderers. This production pays tribute to the nomadic soul, to the spirit and art of the circus tradition, and to the infinite passion of those whose quest takes them along the path that leads to Varekai.

I really enjoyed the "clowns" of the show. They all had us reeling with laughter. The performers were just soooo limber! The costumes where super colorful. "Watching Cirque de Soleil"... I can finally cross that out of my "Things to do before I'm 30 list".

Yesterday, being culinary experts that we are, we made Chicken Curry for dinner! And it was pretty good! If I do say so myself. Haha! The coconut milk made the dish extra creamy and tasty! And for dessert, we indulged in strawberries and whipped cream! Yum yum.
