And we went to the largest bonfire night in all of England. It was amazing and so much fun. They had 6 different parades and each parade had their own HUGE bonfire night at the end of the evening. And when I say huge...i mean the size of a house huge... NO exaggerate at all.. the size of Ma and Pa's house.. they are all huge.
But more about these parades.. you may thing oh a parade fun... nice time..well you would be thinking wrong.. these parades were so loud and annoying i almost lost my hearing. See in these parades they would have these people walking around with a barrels with little explosives inside of them to replicate the guy who tired to bomb parliament with gun powder...these parade walkers who just light them off whenever they would feel like it..and it seemed to be always next to us! Oh yeah and then each parade had their own amazing firework display!!
It was annoying... but the bonfire was fun and the company we were with was great.
A couple from Arizona that I met when i lived there came over to London for they 2nd year anniversary and spent a day with Joel and I! It was so great to see them, and we got to show them a huge part of English culture that night as well.
(ps. this happened on November 5th...sorry for the delay) here are some pictures from that night.
this was the start of the bonfire..hwhen they first lit it.
these parade people are some of the ones wiht the barrels of loudness.
I lost my glove.. it was a cold night.
it was really, really loud
again some of the people who had the loud noise makers.
