I had another hanabi outing yesterday (was it yesterday? yes…I think it was). This time it was hanabi of the large variety. We left work early to buy food and drinks and then parked ourselves on a very large tarp by the banana boat stand.

I was surprised that there was so much space on the beach. I guess the Miurakaigan fireworks are not as big and spectacular as the Umikaze ones that I saw last year and missed last weekend. Well, not entirely – I could hear them from my apartment as I was working on my thesis. It was sooooo that episode where Bart prays for the snow day but then is trapped studying.

The fireworks were good. It was nice being on a beach, by the ocean, and very close to the explosions.
