Off to Fresno

Oh what a long day. 3 shows, plus load out. i just got back to the train, 14 hours after leaving this morning. there were a lot of PETA people in this town, handing out flyers and driving around in their vans. funny how they never show up when we are busting our butts setting up the tents, stalls and AC fans in the 115 degree heat. today i should celebrate my 1 month anniversary. i have officially been a carnie for 1 month- can you believe i made it? i was told by people they didnt think i would come back from the hotel with my mom. other people gave me 2 weeks. so i am glad i showed them! fresno is only about 110 miles- we are scheduled to do the animal walk tomorrow at noon- but you never know. it is always "hurry up and wait". tonight after the show, the elephants were all lined up waiting for their big trash buckets full of water. they all wait with their trunks curled up in the air, swaying back in forth in unison, squeaking with excitement. it is so darn cute. then, when all the water buckets are in place, joe says "alright" and they dive in with their trunks, spraying water in their mouths and all over their bodies. they have big ol smiles on their faces too- it is the cutest thing ever. well i think i am going to watch an episode of friends and go to bed.

see ya all in fresno.
