sammiealice's blog post - final vacation things

a couple of final things about vacation-----we went to see La Nouba by Cirque du Soleil which was incredible-----so much going on and difficult to follow when it first starts but unbelievable. hubby got us tickets all most dead center and down low so we could see everything thing close up. lot of eye candy but the extreme action made it fade into the background. and the costumes made the performers appear gender neutral. in fact, even after watching carefully, i have no idea if some were male or female and actually, they were so marvelous that I really don’t care. how they did those things with their bodies was beyond me. hmmmmmmm, have you ever wondered what sex with/as a circus performer would be like---able to bend in all of those different ways, super limber----strong, fearless----gawd, i am getting wet just thinking about it.
finally got to the nude beach—went on the dune to look at who was there----begged hubby to join me ----but no chance so i gave up after looking at the bronze bodies from afar. could not even convince him to walk the beach with me. but who was i to complain after what he did with his tongue a few days earlier. and brrrrrrrrrr, the ocean was cold----put my little toes in and decided i was not going any further in.
birding sucked----that is the only way to describe it. the drought was so bad that it seemed that the only place we found birds was------get this-----the sewer plant outfalls. they use man-made wetlands to do the final treatment of the sewer water and so these areas are destinations for birders and nature photographers because they are always full of water and birds. imagine that your community is advertizing (and they do) their sewer plant as a tourist destination----lol.
saw the space shuttle on the pad from a .distance. god it is big. but the launch was delayed until tomorrow, bummer. and dragged hubby to see the space station movie-----he was glad i did because it was sooooo good.
did see several bids that i have been hoping to see for years------nature is just so beautiful. almost got lost in a marsh-----lets take this road and see where it leads-------and you know what, Tom-Tom does show off dirt roads which are in wild life refuges. i was concerned that we were lost as the sun was setting but we finally found the road out.
glad to be back to chat with you all.
welcome back hug.
