#45 Attend the Moulin Rouge Performance in Paris 21 August 2010

Absolutely amazing! I feel as though I could leave this blog entry just with those two words and be describing the whole performance. Major and I decided we needed to take a trip together before we PCS and we only had a short weekend so this was the perfect knock off the list vacation.

Leaving early Saturday morning we drove to Paris in the Volvo, top down of course (it was a beautiful sunny day). At the show we sat next to two lovely girls from Melbourne, Australia. The dinner was lovely and then the performance.

I was truly surprised. It was more than I expected it to be. They had a few intermission performances that were outstanding in of themselves. A juggler who was spinning glow sticks he made it to 7 but was most successful at 6. These two men who were acrobats and could lift and balance each other in ways the body should just not move. And the last performance was a venquilitrist, he was quite funny.

But the girls, the costumes and yes the all very Aston Kutcher looking men were fabulous. The whole evening was magical. I left the hall full of life and spirit.
