Orginially from Ohio, I went to the big city of New York for about 5 years (mainly for school), and now I am working towards my masters at Cambridge in England. I hope this website gives everyone a taste of what my life is like here... and if nothing else I think you will find it fun and entertaining!!

Fireworks for Guy Fawkes

So I am sitting in my room yesterday... minding my business... chatting on AIM... when I hear things exploding outside.  I thought "OHHHHH NOOOO.... they are trying to kill the Americans because Bush was re-elected... and everyone knows that Churchill has TONS of Americans"... so I slowly creep to the window after hearing about 6 explosions, and lo and behold, I see fireworks hehe. So it turns out that they celebrate every year when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up their House of Parliament... now why they want to have such a big party for such a big traitor to their country I do NOT understand... but here is a website with more information about this holiday for those of you who are interested: http://www.bonefire.org/guy/.  So I quickly run and grab my camera to take photos to prove to everyone that I was talking to online at the time, that I am NOT completely nuts....


Keep in mind these were taken from my window in my room... the fireworks really must have been like a couple streets down.



YAAAY pinkish-red... kind of a Churchill color


More pink :)



Green and pink.... I love the effects of this photo...



The blue ones were reallly pretty :)... possibly my favorite.



YAAAY a flower :)



And here comes the grand finale...

Hugs,
