Happy New Year

Greetings from 2005. Rebekah and I celebrated the beginning of the new year looking out our sky light windows at fireworks throughout the city. Neighbors a rooftop away shot fireworks seemingly through their skylight, cheering and laughing for each. Hundreds of fireworks brightened the midnight sky with whites, greens, and reds.

Unlike what Rebekah and I are familiar with from the States, there didn't seem to be one central firework display. Rather, there were dozens of displays, filling the air with cracks and pops for nearly half an hour. We had originally planned on attending a party on a hill east of the city where we would have had a great view of the entire city. Alas, we decided to have a quiet evening alone. We shall have to have a better look at the fireworks from above the city next year.

In any case, Happy New Year!
