David Panama and the Beijing Circus

November 15, 2011

If you were in David Panama recently you might have noticed that there were two circuses in town.

Yes two circuses.

I'm sure neither circus was thrilled.  

They faced off from each other in the empty field in front of Pricesmart in David.

The Beijing Circus and Circus Renato. 

We went to Circus Renato last year and enjoyed it very much.

Beijing Circus was only in David 1 more week and the Renato is in David until Nov. 25th.

We went to the Beijing Circus.

The ticket vendor at the Beijing Circus assured us the their show was "more professional" than Renato's.

We did enjoy the Beijing Circus; however, it doesn't hold a candle to Renato.  

The Beijing circus had acrobats and Tigers - Siberian and, hum... don't know the name, the usual orange stripped Tigers.

One very cool thing at the Beijing Circus is that you can get your photo taken with a Siberan Tiger at the Beijing Circus.  

That would definitely not be allowed in the States

My daughter Skylar and her friend Kia had their photo taken while they were petting the tiger.

They said the tiger's fur was surprisingly coarse and rough.

Last year at Renato we got our picture taken on an elephant.

We will let you know if they do that this year as well.

If you are in David Panama this month, I highly recommend you go to Circus Renato.

It is alot of fun!
