Circus Circus

We're off to the Circus!

Friday (the 23rd) was an excursion to the circus. I had no idea I was going until the day before which is usual for most of the field trips I've gone on. No complaints from me thought because I love going on these trips and getting out of the classroom. The circus wasn't too far away so the drive only took about a half hour and the weather was quite nice when we arrived. We were greeted by a clown and for some reason I could only think about how creepy clowns can be. I never had any traumatic experiences with clowns, well except for when  I watched "It" and saw a sewer dwelling child eating clown in action, but I don't really have any negative feelings toward them. Clowns are people too! Still kinda creepy.

After we arrived it was time for breakfast so we walked down to the meeting area in a clearing down a ways from the parking lot. The circus is in the mountains so there was a forested area where we stopped to eat. The announcer clown was pretty funny. He tried and failed to pronounce my name but he kept telling people I was an English teacher from L.A. As the others schools arrived he would use the loudspeaker and say hey there's a teacher from L.A over there. Good times. After the snacking was done, it was time for dancing. Yes there is always time for dancing here in Spain. The kids got to shake out some energy and I got to hop up on the truck where the Clown/MC was leading things to take some pictures.

After the dancing was over we packed up and continued up the hill to the actual circus tent area. The sky was beautiful this day and I took a considerable amount of pictures just of the sky. I think I'll have to replace my lens one of these days, or clean it somehow, because I think there's something causing a dark spot to appear on my shots. It's really small luckily but I don't know how I can clean inside the lens. Oh well, a minor problem for another day.

Sky was super blue that day
