Around the world in 80 years...

 Circus is coming in our little village!!! "FestinaLente" it is a name of the French traveling circus team. These guys have from 5 to 7 sailing boats, the biggest one is around 17 meters long. Around 30 artists on these boats for the moment.   Musicians, clowns, acrobats, jugglers.. They have everything to make a real Circus show in each port they stop.

 They pass few thousands nautical miles around Europe and made 20 circus show for last year. Name of a project "FesinaLente" - you can traduce in English like - Hurry up, without rush! Or Hurry up slowly.. Guys don't have exact plans for after, maybe they move to Senegal next, maybe to Madeira or Azores. Nice philosophy! I think the same way and probably this make good connection for our projects. FestinaLente and Dolce far Niente sounds good! 

First time we met in beginning of 2014 when they have few little boats and just begin to do floating circus. That time we just arrive in La Gomera island, have no friends here, and no ideas what to do next.

This meeting finished by great circus show in the port of Valle Gran Rey in board of our boat Rocinante, what was a really good experience for all of us. Circus guys tryed to do something in bigger boat, so they understood what possibilities they can have with big ship. For me and my crew it was also great to do something new, and get a lot of fun.

Im really happy to meet them again, and now we will make one more great show next weekend together. 

You still have a few days to fly to La Gomera and see your own eyes, probably the best show of this year..

But if you have no time now, dont worry I'm sure you can see on Steemit some good photos from the show in next days

Or you can find information about their next destination in www.festinalente2016.net
