Elephants on parade

I was rushing out of the house to meet up with a friend for lunch when I turned the corner and just about ran right into a parade of elephants! They were being walked right down the middle of the street by their keepers. Here they are just about 2 blocks from our house.

This could only mean one thing... The circus is in town!

Gary & I went to the famous Knie circus, which has been performing in Europe for over 200 years and is now touring through Switzerland. It was highly recommended by people at G's work and was really good. Sort of like Cirque du Soleil with lots of acrobatics, but also animals (including llamas) and knife throwing... crazy! It was all in French, of course, so we didn't get all the jokes, but we had a great time none the less. My favorite part was the elephants! :)
