CIRQUE DU SOLEIL



Hey everyone,

Mr. Ted and I went and saw the new Cirque show KOOZA in Philadelphia this weekend. They brought the Big Top right into the center of the city. It was sooooo cool!! I've picked a couple of videos to show you some highlights. Enjoy!!

Check this video out to see an overview of the show.

Opening of the show. It is really cool to think that just a day or two ago, this was just a parking lot in the city. They brought everything in to do the show and will pack up to the next city to do it again.



After the show, we went had a GREAT dinner in Philly at Alma de Cuba. It's a Cuban inspired restaurant that we had never been to before. We sat up at the table on the upper right hand side of the picture. It overlooked the main dining room. Very cool.

The meal started out with a sampling of ceviches which are a form of citrus-marinated seafood salad, popular in many Latin American countries. For dinner, Shawn had Lechon Asado - crispy skin pork with oregano mojo, black bean puree and creamy yucca. Ted had Grilled Whole Bronzino - fish dish with garbanzo bean stew, tempura lemons and a South American Provencal salad. For dessert, we had tapioca pudding served in a shelled out coconut with guava date bars. Yummy!!

Love,
Uncle Shawn & Mr. Ted
