Weekend Adventures

The weekend is done, and it was great. I'll start where I left off: Saturday. I went to the Regatta, arriving 10 minutes late. By then I had missed the karate/tai chi demo. Next was yoga dancers... all under 10 I'm guessing. No wonder they could stretch! But the next show was by far the best, the Chinese Acrobats - or the Dragon Legend Acrobats as they are billed in the Epcot center.

It was by far the neatest part of the day. In the Epcot center, I'm sure I would be sitting 50-100 feet away. At the regatta, I was only 10 feet away. I didn't get any pictures. I thought it was just a local group - I was really wrong. In a way, I was happy I didn't have my camera. It meant I could just watch without worrying about my video moving or losing track of the action - I had a thoroughly enjoyable time. My favorite part of the show were the twin contortionists. They weren't as flexible as others I've seen, but they did their whole routine on one hand! They had a five minute routine, and it was all done standing on their hands. I didn't see them waver or look like they lost their balance in the slightest.

Sunday: I went to Aikido class on Sunday morning (so early... why so early!), then headed off towards Seaworld. I enjoyed my time there. From the other times I've been there, I've figured out which of the up-close 'wet zones' get the least water, and then positioned myself there. I got some nice pictures, which are below, along with my geo-caching pictures on the way home. I found one geo-cache. The other one was in a park, off a trail, and I couldn't find it anywhere. As you can see in the picture of the one I found, the caches can be quite small.
