Circus in Mainz!! :)

Guten Tag alles!

Today is Day 45.. I went to Mainz!! hahah!! I wanted soooooo much to go to the circus, so I managed to persuade some of them to go to Mainz with me.. 'To go sightseeing'.. But yeah, we did! hahah! Then later in Mainz, I persuaded them to go to the circus.. First, to just see, maybe check the price.. Then when we reached there, we found out that today was Partner's Day, Partnerstag.. It's 10 euros for one person, and 12 euros for 2 people! Wah!! I was soooo happy!! I checked the internet sooooo many times, and they put 14 euros.. And this was a turn-off to them.. So I was very very very lucky! It was so cheap on today!! hahha! BUT I must say.. The circus was fantastic!! They said it was worth the money.. It was very very good!! I liked it ALOT!! hahahh! It's a Russian circus.. There were a mix of everything.. It was really nice.. I enjoyed it alot.. Nicolas was saying that I was smiling all the way when we decided to go in.. I was super duper happy! Serious!! I couldn't hold my excitement!! Lol!!





I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dog performance the most.. Very fun and entertaining! Really cute.. It's amazing how they trained all these dogs very well.. Beautiful dogs too! And another performance I liked VERY VERY MUCH as a couple doing some dance and 'flying' with these two ropes in the air.. It's alittle difficult for me to describe.. The dance was BEAUTIFUL!! I have never seen such a beautiful dance before.. So graceful.. AND definitely contributing to its beauty of this performance is the music! Yanni's Until The Last Moment.. VERY VERY beautiful song.. Yanni is AMAZING!! Go youtube him and listen to his songs.. MASTERPIECE!!! Im probably falling in love with his music.. So calm and serene, yet full of emotions.. Wunderbar!

Anyway, I didn't take many pictures.. There wasn't much to see..

We went to a church first.. It was a Protestant church.. I was telling them that I've entered more churches than mosques here in Europe! Lol!! It's soooooo true!! I only know one mosque here in Darmstadt anyway.. And I don't need to go to the mosque for Friday prayers etc.. But it's interesting la.. I get to compare all the different churches from different countries.. AND honestly, I like this church the best! Just because it was simple.. I think it's not a tourist attraction or something.. You can see that it's mainly used for prayers/ mass.. And there's not much pornography.. Even the statue of Jesus Christ in the front has clothes on! As in, full clothes! Like a cloak or something.. In other churches, the statues have cloth only covering the private parts.. I don't like it at all, to be honest.. I don't care if its art or not.. This church too has other sculptures.. I can say, modern/ recent scuptures.. And no pornography!! Men and women with clothes on!! Got one that looked like a women in a telekung (the cloth Muslim women used for prayers).. I like it, because it's very modest.. I keep telling Pedro that I don't understand why statues and paintings of people has to be naked.. Especially in churches!! Is it ART? Is nudity allowed in the religion? [Ok, mainly in catholic churches..] I hope I didn't offend anyone.. Im just so curious.. I just don't understand.. Probably I asked the wrong people, those that are not very religious.. So that's why I liked this church alot alot.. It feels closer to home, if you get what I mean.. Anyway, I sat there in the church, because I found a kids bible storybook.. So Nicolas helped me with the stories, to know the different stories in the bible.. I thought it was interesting.. I only read a few stories, like about Jesus rise from the dead (about Easter because Easter is this Sunday) and the good samaritan.. I read it in German, so I don't know if I got the names right.. Very simple German, so I liked reading it alot.. Very easy to understand..

There's the church in the middle..

Look at the cross in the front.. Clothes on!

We walked a little more.. Went to have lunch and ice-cream!! Then we walked to find the circus.. I really think there's not much interesting stuff to see in Mainz.. I like the river.. Very nice.. I'd love to just sit by the river and enjoy view.. Very very very lovely, calming and relaxing.. I liked it alot! And it's a wonderful place to settle down, to me at least.. Especially to raise your children or something..


The circus!! Fantastic!! Seriously... Dances, clowns (by a Charlie Chaplin copy and apparently the world famous clown Oley Popov), magic show, dogs performing some funny and cute tricks, another performance with the horse, gymnastics, motor stunts in a sphere cage etc.. It was really good.. Very impressive.. :):) Im just soooo happy I finally get to watch circus performances! :):)





I dont know what is this.. They are old books inside, but I cant open it.. So I dont know what exactly is this for.. To show off?? Lol! Makes no sense...
