Nice show, hampered by wind and rain

Justine was really nice. Unfortunately the weather didn't co-operate but she did the best she could considering the conditions...She came all the way from NYC ..A 3hr. train ride. We met her at the train and brought her our place. She performed many fire dances ..No one knew she was coming ,so it was quite a surprise.
After the show, we invited Justine to join us for dinner.. She stayed for a couple hours ,we fed her and sent her on her way with supplies for the train ride.
We drove her to get a late night train back to the city and told her to let us know that she got back safely.
She texted us at 4am,safely in NYC......
Everyone enjoyed her Performance and would certainly recommend Justine to anyone looking for a Fire Dancer.
