Today we had a leisurely day ashore exploring the town and happened to notice a note on the bulletin board about a French couple who perform a circus act aboard their boat. I had read something in 38 degrees north magazine and knew something about it.
We went to watch the act and it was quite good. It seems this Frenchman had trained as a circus performer as a child but had a career as an engineer.
He married and has been traveling the worlds oceans on his sailboat with wife and children. To augment the sailing kitty they have put together an act suspended from the rigging of the boat. They act the clowns with one going up the mast and chasing the other around all to appropriate music coming from the speakers on their boat. It is quite professional and we enjoyed it immensely. Connie made popcorn and we watched and munched and then they passed the hat.
Tomorrow we explore old Puerto Vallarta.
