More on Guy Fawkes Day!

So last night, my friend Anna and I decided to try to follow the sounds and find a good fireworks show. Ultimately we found out, though, that one firework would go off.

...

Then another would go off in that same place about a minute later.

Imagine this happening from ALL directions! We felt like we were in the midst of a battle. It was pretty crazy-slash-a-little-bit-scary! We got really spooked by a firework near the beginning of our hunt!

Ultimately, our wanderings led us to the moonlit Thames. There were some distant lights downstream, along with the additional firework. Willows lined the bank, with the occasional bench, and it was totally deserted. PERFECT DATE SPOT. It was so beautiful!

And then we went back to Anna's house to watch "Tangled" and have a noodle party.

Despite the anti-Catholic history of the holiday, I still had a great time! :D

Happy (*cough* night after *cough*) Bonfire Night, everyone!
