Afrika! Afrika!

What an amazing show!!!! It was a bit of an adventure to get to. I went to "KPR's" house to go with her, but the tube was closed, and then the nearest train station was closed. So I ended up driving. The traffic was horrendous and we were a half an hour late to the show, but what we saw was just jaw-dropping fantastic.

This is a link to their preview - take the 2 minutes and watch it - some of it is SO incredible!

Click to enlarge. Check out these amazng men! The top middle picture there's a guy on someone else's shoulders holding two guys up off the floor, one in each hand. Middle left has guys doing one armed hand stands off someone else's head. Middle middle picture is just amasing if you look at it; the arrow is pointing to guys doing hand stands off each others hands. Middle right - ok check out the guy's abs where I have the arrow pointing to; he's doing a back bend off other people's abs and he has a guy standing on his abs. Bottom left has a guy doing a head stand on someone else's head! Bottom middle - if you can see the balance on these guys - it's astonishing
These ladies legs and balance were incredible! They balance and twirled large pots (that were half her size). They also twirled fire batons and here they are bablancing (and twirling) tables. All with their feet!!!And the finale - a contortionist! The human body just shouldn't be able to do what this woman did!!!
A few cheesey smiles from KPR, myself and "Jak" (KPR's flatamte)
It was just a wonderful night! KPR / Jak if you read this - thatnks SO much for inviting me!!!
And can I just say ... how good of a blogger am I - within an hour of getting home, I've blogged about it with pictures! You are lucky lucky readers!

Haha! Well, you were one that came to mind for sure, along with Formula 1 racing and the humorous thought that we'd have to call it the same thing but use different words. : P

How's it going? Cool pics of Afrika... Makes me glad to not be a contortionist! : P
