One month in Mexico! (click here for more info)

Today I have been in San Felipe a whole month! Where does the time go? It feels like I've only been here a week or so. I am all settled in and very comfortable in a campground with full hookups, right on the beach.

I now know my way around and have found everything I need is within walking distance (very *short* walking distance - which is good because if you know me, you know I don't like to walk :-) .

On another note, today I received an email from Cirque du Soleil, with a survey and a thank you for attending their first ever Cirque Week in Las Vegas last November. You can see my pictures of the event by clicking on the title of this blog entry.

Cirque Week was a full week of backstage demonstrations, seminars, meet-and-greets, Q&A sessions, and behind-the-scene tours of all seven of the Vegas shows. Along with a goodie bag, it was all included in the Cirque Week package deal.

They also sent me a link to tons of pictures of these events, which you can see here: Cirque. You will see many pictures of the audiences at the events, but if you keep scrolling, you will be rewarded with pictures of the theaters, makeup demonstrations, costumes, artists, and you can see some of the stages in action. Yes, the stages at Cirque du Soleil are part of the cast. They're incredible.

You can also choose the events on the menu to the right of the pictures, to view them by individual dates. The events that took place that week and that you'll see in the pictures, were as follows:

Monday - welcome reception

Monday - tour of the state of the art sound system (with over 6,000 speakers) at the Beatles' LOVE theater at the Mirage

Tuesday - a dress rehearsal of Zumanity at New York, New York

Wednesday - an acoustic musical performance by Viva Elvis musicians at Aria

Wednesday - meet and greet with Criss Angel at his show Believe at the Luxor 

Thursday - a tour of the 360-degree rotating stage at Ka at the MGM Grand

Friday - an underwater and backstage tour of O at the Bellagio

Saturday - Cirque creative and technical panel

Sunday - Mystere costume display and Taiko Drum demonstration at Treasure Island


I love Cirque du Soleil so I wanted to share that with you and I hope you'll enjoy it ... and until next time, I send you greetings from a warm and sunny beach in Baja, Mexico!

  3. Bro Bri,

    You have to keep going. Keep scrolling thru the pics and don't give up.

    I can't imagine why they included so many of those other shots. Makes no sense to me.
