dinner and a show

for my birthday, aaron got us tickets for cirque du soleil "kooza" in baltimore. we saw cirque du soleil "O" in las vegas and loved it...so, when they had a travelling show coming here, it was a great chance to see them again. before the show, we went to a restaurant called fogo de chao. it is a brazillian restaurant that is known for all you can eat MEAT! there is a huge salad bar and you get great side dishes on your table...and then the meat. you have a card that is red on one side and green on the other...if it is green...the waiters will each come by with different meats and keep giving you any type you want. i had filet, chicken, pork, ribs. mind you, you had to try to eat the ribs with a fork...not too easy! the waiters were top of the line...they watched everything we did and were aware of anything that we needed...they were there to get your chair if you got up or down, they poured your drink if you took a drink, and we never had an empty or dirty plate in front of us! ronita and randy were along for dinner and the show. randy had been looking forward to this restaurant for awhile!
