Remember remember the 5th of November

Last night was Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night. There was a celebration going on down at the local park. I dragged James along with me to see what was going on. The local community had a HUGE bonfire going on, as well as loads of regular people firing off fireworks. Neither of us had our cameras, so we are sadly pictureless. It was a really interesting night for me, as I love fireworks, and because I have never seen anything of the like. It is illegal to set off fireworks within city limits in SK, so the sort of celebration we saw last night would never occur. We ended up walking up to the top of the hill in the park, and just sitting, enjoying all the random fireworks being set off throughout the area. By the end of the evening, the air in the park was thick with smoke from the bonfire and the smell of gunpowder.

I wish you all could have been here.
