61 Roxburgh

Please enjoy some video of the fireworks last monday night celebrating Guy Fawkes Night (p.s. this video took forever to upload, and is not even a good one, so check back in a bit and I will try to get a much better one up). The fire works were set off from two barges in the harbor, so we had a spectacular view!

Guy Fawkes night celebrates when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up English parliament in 1605 (he was against Protestant rule) it was a failed attempt...and somehow the tradition of blowing up things continues in Commonwealth countries. While definitely lacking the patriotic tones of the 4th of July, and there is no day off work with the obligatory BBQ, it was still a great night. All we had to do was step outside, onto our deck and enjoy the display!
