Last week I was invited to a birthday party on Treasure island. Treasure island sits halfway between San Francisco and Oakland, right off of the Bay bridge. Its a flat man-made island and with its small size you feel as if you are walking on the deck of a ship.

One of the highlights was an entire circus trapeze setup. All the guests were given basic lessons and then climbed a narrow ladder, grabbed onto a tiny trapeze and swung out into the void.

The picture on the left is of A. in mid-swing. The picture on the right was taken later in the evening, a view of the city from Treasure island.
