Cirque du Soleil

Last night we headed downtown to see Cirque du Soleil: Dralion – absolutely unbelievable!! Unfortunately, the weather was a little stinky – cold and rainy. But the performance was just amazing. We’re trying to decide if they had muscle implants & ball-joints inserted in their spines, or if they were just robots. I still don’t understand how it is physically possible to do half the things they did. Kate – sorry, but putting both legs behind your head doesn’t look so impressive, anymore.

Afterwards, we went out to dinner at a Lebanese restaurant in the Surry Hills neighbourhood. Ben took Kerry to this neighbourhood on her second day here, but the whole thing just seemed like a dream in her mind – oh, the weird world of sleep deprivation. Anyway, it’s nice to know it’s real! Being the indecisive eaters that we are, we got one of the sampler platters (hummus, baba ghannouj, vine leaves, falafel, kibbe (lamb), ladyfingers (not the cookie), and lots of other stuff) - all of it was soooo good. Good show, good food, good company – what a date!
