Wednesday was a day of relaxation. Walk on the beach, swim, read, snooze. We went to bike night at the Quaker State restaurant with Pete, Beth, Joe, Marlene, Kurt and Ashley. Hundreds of bikes in all shapes and sizes (as well as the owners) and it was a sight to see. Some of the get ups they wore, tattoos, bikes dressed up - it was a show all its own. We had very good burgers for supper while listening to the band and people watching. One poor guy had his bike blown over by the wind and did a lot of damage to the custom paint job.
Thursday Bernie played golf with Roy, Eugene, & Chris and I went shopping. Spent the afternoon on the beach and had a visit from Sharman and Roy. At the last minute we decided to go to the show under the big top. It was called Cavalia (www.cavalia.com) and it was described as an equestrian arts event with 40 horses per show, horse whisperer, visual effects, live music, dance, acrobatics and a Cirque du Soleil atmosphere. The Liberty segment was the most powerful with 9 white horses coming onto the stage area one at a time, loose with no person with them. They played and frolicked with each other for several minutes and then a female trainer came out and had them go thru some fantastic maneuvers by just touch, hand movements and a sound now and then. The whole time they played and nipped at each other. Just like a group of little kids but they were in control the whole time. It was magical to watch. There were stunt riders, dressage, and a lot of the time the horses were loose on the stage with no riders or ropes and acrobats flipping all around them and the music playing. Quite something.
