        Flying bicycles, floating women and jumping on the bed! Oh my!

For Bunny's Mom's birthday, we (along with Bunny's brother) went to see
Corteo—Cirque du Soleil [1] which is currently playing in Miami [2] (in a big
top tent no less!). The tickets were rather expensive, but seeing a Cirque du
Soleil live was certainly worth it.

From kids bouncing on a bed [3] to rolling around in huge hula hoops [4] to
the very surreal Helium Dance [5] (which you have to see—it's just … out
there, no pun intended).

But perhaps the most impressive act of the show was two acrobats, male and
female, doing what can only be described as a human trapeze act (kind of like
this act [6], but two of them on the same pair of ropes at the same time
(sorry, couldn't find a clip of the actual act—apparently some of the acts
change out from time to time). And then there's the man riding a bicycle in
the air (again, I can't find a clip).

And at times, there's just too much stuff going on at once on the stage
(circular as it can rotate because the audience surrounds the stage). It's
just an incredible show to see live.
