Benzini Brothers Circus Train

Emil and I were out for our Sunday ride with the cameras and were delighted to find an old circus train going through the town of Fillmore.

Only to find out after googling the "Benzini" name on the ipad that this train is part of a movie set filming locally in Fillmore and Santa Paula. "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruin is a novel about a depression era traveling circus.

The funny thing is I just purchased the book to read a week ago. Better get started, looks like it will be a great ride...

If you enjoy Circus trains, check out my other blog for some very old Ringling Bros, Barnum and Baily pics

Side Note...

"Watch your thoughts, for they become words,

watch your words, for they will become actions,

watch your actions, for they become habits,

watch your habits, for they become character,

watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."

A New Chapter, A New Address, A New Year

Emil and I will be moving to The Channel Islands Harbor area in Oxnard, CA. It's the downstairs apartment of a home on Hollywood Beach. A dream of mine for as long as I can remember has been to live by the beach. Thanks Emil!!
I love you!
