A busy afternoon

Carsten and I headed off to the City Centre this afternoon to do some holiday shopping.  Carsten wanted to look for some gift ideas for his family, in addition, a large Christmas Market is happening in the City Centre as well and we wanted to walk through it.  Having come from Chicago I know what "a lot" of people looks like.  However, the magnitude of people that were at the market was incredible.  Of course it didn't help that so many people also decided to bring their SUV strollers along as well.  Funny, the cars in general are smaller here than in the US, but the strollers are huge!  But I digress.  After a few hours we had enough of that scene and came home to watch the final movie, P2, we rented.  It was the best, by far, of the three we rented and even Carsten agreed, which was a bit surprising since he doesn't care for horror films as much as I do.  Once we finished the movie we decided to go to the circus for one last time.  It was great fun!  A lot of laughing and even though I didn't always understand what was being said it was still funny.  This truly is a dying piece of entertainment.  I would recommend attending a circus if you have a chance.  I know that every year one comes to Chicago and I am sure many other cities have traveling circuses come as well.  In summer 2008, Celebrity Circus was on TV and yes I watched every episode.  The acrobatics take quite a bit of physical strength and the comedic component of the circus is not something that appears easy to obtain.  In the circus we saw, they used the audience a lot and so we really became part of the show.  In the end, just go and you will have a great time!
