The lions are keeping me awake. The lions or elephants...could be elephants. What are you talking about, Sarah? How could lions and elephants be keeping you up? You're in Honduras not on an African safari. Oh contrarie my fair friends. Well, no. I'm not on an African safari. Where I am, however, is in Santa Rosa de Copan and in Santa Rosa de Copan, why, the circus is in town! Yes, dear readers, the circus. Lucky me the big blue and white striped tent is located less than two blocks from my house. Also lucky for me, the animals enjoy roaring loudly at all hours of the night. The tent got here about a month ago and I really have no clue when it is leaving. Not that I mind...I just feel for those poor animals being kept in cages and probably being treated rather badly. If the way they treat their pets is any indication as to how they might treat some lowly circus lions, well let's just say it's probably not that great.
Sometimes this place just reminds me so much of the 1900's in the U.S. except with more technological advances. People still go to the market, people in the country eat their own animals, we have 2 stoplights, no one has a mailbox at their house, folks ride horses to town, you have to go to 5 separate stores if you want nails, Tylenol, bread, dog food, and a doughnut. And dog gone it! The circus comes to town! The last time I went to the circus I think I was around 4 years old. Time for another go? I'll let ya know...

Wait...have you gone to the circus?? I think we need that story.
Also, my favorite line (cause it was MY LIFE too for 6 months): "you have to go to 5 separate stores if you want nails, tylenol, bread, dog food, and a doughnut." love that combination.
