first world pyro olympics

i love the holidays this year. it's much more fun than the one i had last year. plus, to add to the cheerful mood of the last remaining week of the year, there's the First Pyro Olympics at Bay City.

i was there yesterday with alej and angela (alej's little sister). tonight i'm going with my sister and my father. people, no matter what age, will always have their childhood enthusiasm in their hearts. just like last night. adult, kids, and elders "ooooh" and "aaaaahed" during the fireworks display. i was giddly like a little kid in a candy store as the fireworks lit up the dark night sky. it was stellar.

the long walk from the parking lot to the "front row" of the fireworks display was worth it. nevermind if it was far. it was REALLY worth it. last night's display was that of the United States and South Africa. tonight it's going to be the U.A.E. and Philippines. yey! both my homes! :)

we sat down on the ground beside a palm tree near the sea chewing on warm castanas (chestnuts) and watching the fireworks display. it was a really FUN night.
