Holy Firecrackers

Batman!.....(July 14, 2008)

OK, so we went to see the fireworks tonight in town. There were thousands of people there. On the way, we were crossing a street in the crosswalk with a green pedestrian light, and a police car stopped to let us finish crossing. The car behind the police car rear-ended him! Everyone in the sidewalk cafe cheered and applauded the poor fellow. So I guess you could say that we caused an accident, but we were completely in the right.

The fireworks show was short, but these were absolutely the best fireworks I have ever seen... some really unusual ones that I've never seen in the USA. But there was nothing patriotic about it at all. They played about four pop/rock songs like Let the Sunshine In from Hair, and some French song with Martin Luther King's I Have A Dream speech in the background. So, I have officially celebrated Bastille Day and am going to bed! Back to class tomorrow!
