Train Run # 11

wow- eleven train runs already! the rest of my week in san jose was pretty much uneventful. friday was one of my friends bdays so we all went out to a local bar close to the train. the local bar always ends up becoming where all the circus hangs out after work so it kind of loses the local feel. i swear, sometimes it is just impossible to escape the people you work with! good thing i like most of the circus folk. after being on the road for almost 3 months now, i am now able to offend in 3 different languages :) something mom should be proud of. i always wanted to be bilingual. what languages, you ask? well- german, polish and bulgarian. we left san jose early this morning after a week of shows. peta was crazy in this town as well. they are really starting to get on my nerves. during the animal walk back to the train, one of the ladies was taping the elephants and she wasnt paying attention to where she was walking and she walked right smack into a huge semi! haha. then she yelled, "THEY PUSHED ME!" no lady- you are just that dumb. i was looking at one of their flyers that they hand out to people coming into the animal open house and it said that "ringling hires inexperienced people for the animal staff, sometimes directly out of homeless shelters." seriously. what is wrong with these people. i am waiting for a water stop right now. they said 30 minutes 45 minutes ago. that is how the circus works i guess. we are heading to portland- i am so exicted! i cant wait to see mountains! we just got my plane ticket this week for the wedding- i get to be home from tuesday to sunday. that is going to be just glorious. i also get to fly home for thanksgiving day :) i cant wait! well.... i will be stuck on the trian until tuesday night. i will probably spend most of my time sleeping and waiting for water stops.
