Sometime this past cold month we went out to the circus. This event is free and is sponsored most years by our city government. (The potholes in the roads and the rusted/broken playground equipment isn't so much of a priority, but we do get a circus each year!) The circus here is a bit of a flashback to the 70's for Campbell Clansman and me. We don't mind the traditions they continue to showcase here. For us, it's ok to put aside political correctness and ecological soundness once in awhile. (There, I said it.)
The performers are from Russia. They are into bears. You can see these furry fellas rode on the back of water buffalo.
There were some amazing acts, some without nets underneath! For Big Ben, the best act by far was the motorcycle show. After it was over, he kept saying, "More vrooom vroom?" You'll have to ask your dad on that one, son! (I grew up riding motorcycles. CC is a bit more safety conscious than me.)

Yep, gotta love the Eastern European circuses! :) Potholes are not a priority here, either. In fact, our driveway to the apartment building literally caved in- you could see down 10-15 m. It took a couple of months to finally get it fixed and I believe the rich people who own the apartments in the building are the ones who forked the cash over to get it fixed.
Bringing back memories . . . Daddy took us to the circus every year. Who noticed political correctness in those days, right? It was just the circus. So wonderful, and Ben is right . . . I was always amazed myself at the motorcycles in those contraptions.
Turkey certainly has some wonderful traditions.
