Happy 1st of July!

Matt and I had a great Canada Day.

We went for a walk in the morning and slept afterwards, had a nice lunch and then went out boating even though it was slightly gray, just because it IS Canada Day.

When we got back, we had some curry and then we went out with a gigantic box full of fireworks! Being so illegal in Singapore, I could not resist buying an entire box full of fizzing whizbees, starbangers and rockets.

We crossed the bridge and walked over to Sunnyside beach, to join the rest of the young people hiding away from the main cheesy family festivities at ontario place. My favorite firework of the night was the burning schoolhouse, confirming the fact that I am yes, a little pyro at heart. There is nothing like burning stuff on a beach in the middle of the night, with some soft serve ice cream.

We had lots of little squib fireworks, and finished with a large 25-load white and red canada day rocket. .. just in time for the festival of fire at Ontario Place. I think it was more than half an hour of massive fireworks. Big things that rained down sparks, big shapes, circles, stars, huge domes of fire.

No pictures though. There are some things left better that way... instead of worrying about exposure and composition, I decided to enjoy canada day it was meant to be. Lounging around and enjoying civil liberties such as sitting in the middle of the highway on a patch of pavement and grass, watching an entire 4 lane come to a crawl. Happy 142!
