Day 69
29 July 2009
All day today we were planning to come out this evening to watch the Red Devils, and the fireworks. Another late night for the children, but it's the summer holidays, it's carnival week, and my husband is off all week, too. It feels a little like being on holiday.About an hour before the Red Devils were due to plop into the sea from a great height, rain worthy of monsoon status halted our plans. We nearly decided to put the kids to bed and have a glass of wine instead of braving the rain. But luckily it stopped.
I'm glad we went out, because we would have missed so much. What we witnessed was a feast for the eyes, and a meal for the mind.
So many beautiful scenes greeted us as we walked into town.
The Red Devils did their bit for entertaining the soggy crowd.
Then as darkness fell the excitement built up as the crowd waited for the fireworks to start.
In the meantime there had been a sand sculpture competition. This mermaid was the winner.
We joined up with some friends, and sat on our rug on the beach, drinking a glass of wine and watching the fireworks.
Then we took the kids home to their beds, and tucked them in for the night.

What an amazing evening, so many great photo ops. Lovely
