GNO TO SEE ACROBATS OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

Tuesday night finally arrived and I was feeling so much better I no longer feared that I would’t feel like making the trip. Several weeks earlier we had ordered tickets to see the National Acrobats of the People’s Republic of China. This group was direct from Beijing, where they had performed in over 40 countries and they were making their first appearance in North America at the Perot Theater in Texarkana.

We got an early start so we would have plenty of time for supper at Sepatas. Four of us met two friends and enjoy a great visit while enjoying our good food. We did have one interruption that raised quite a disturbance. A young lady at the table behind us had a seizure or some strange happening. When she went down all of the food from their two tables dumped on her. Several attempted to help but one bossy lady took charge and rapidly ushered her out of restaurant.

After the excitement we resumed our eating and visiting. Finally we got all paid out and traveled the short distance to the Perot Theatre. A large crowd had already gathered but our driver let us out at the door and found a parking space nearby.

Since we had our tickets we got in and found our seats. We settled back and waited for the show to start. When they finally started we stared in amazement at the beautiful colors and the troop of very talented young people. They kept us entertained and amazed at just how skilled they really were.

All in all it was a wonderful night with good food, good friends and good entertainment.
