Hakuna Matata



Hello from Dublin! Marty and I have just come from the most awesome display of limbo talent we have ever witnessed. In the middle of the Temple Bar area a very talented and flexible young Jamaican was able to bend backwards and shimmy underneath a flaming pole blanced on the top of two wine bottles. That was just one of his many tricks - his acrobatics also included doing a handstand on top of three wooden rectangular blocks stacked vertically on a thin bench. It was like Cirque du Soleil but instead of $100/ticket in a big Vegas theater, we threw Euros in half of an overturned bongo drum as it was passed around and he tumbled on a carpet remnant spread over the cement. It was a great show with Bob Marley playing, no lights or costumes, and no other characters except the main rastafarian gymnast - solo - and shouting, Hakuna Matata before he attempted each feat.
