i went to busch gardens africa in tampa bay florida the other day and it was simply amazing!!! i feel so lucky to have the opportunity to go! (for those of you that dont know there are all kinds of different busch gardens. theres a europe in virginia where you can go to germany, france and all the other countries in europe. the one i went to was africa. idk if there are any more.) there were guys walking around on stilts showing everyone where to go. there was an awesome show called KaTonga and they used african legends to tell stories and they put music to it. they had an awesome set and lighting... the best theater geeks in the word must work there. then we went on a train ride tour and the family behind us was spanish (and had the cutest little baby ever), the family beside us was from china, and the family in front of us was german! amazing! there were so many different animals there; zebras, buffalo, antelope... even flamingos! we spent the day riding rides and seeing the sights. but the best show was last... darren romeo. he was part of sigfried and roy's organization and he sang while he did magic. it was... there are no words for it. you can look him up anywhere. his site is [link] . i loved how he interacted with the audience, he even remembereed the names of all his volunteers. my fave part was definately the last part tho. he sang and did magic related to the phantom of the opera. its like the best musical EVAR, and i GOT HIS AUTOGRAPH AND I GOT TO MEET HIM!!! it was amazing. hope to pot pix up soon(:
