Flower fire (hanabi)



I didn’t really emphasize it earlier but it’s still blazing hot here. Today we had a bit of rain so hopefully that will cool things down at least for today.


The other night we drove out to Shimabara for a fireworks show and festival. It’s supposed to be one of the biggest fireworks shows around so we couldn’t miss it. It was pretty spectacular. I don’t think we’ve ever seen any so huge!


We also went to Mos Burger for dinner. We’d been hearing how it’s way better than McDonald’s here so we had to try it. The burger patties are definitely heftier than McDonald’s but it’s still not exactly a burger. It was tasty for sure but the burgers had a more meatloaf taste to them. The chicken sandwich had a great sauce to it and some nicely chopped cabbage though. I’m sure we’ll be back when we get that burger/fries craving again.

Also, when we got out from eating, my car had a little present on it. Some crazy kids tried to scare us by leaving a toy beetle on my hood! Kids these days! It ended being a cool windup bug that is now Scott’s new friend.

I totally forgot that you'd be driving on the wrong side of the road! While I was looking at the beetle on the car, I kept thinking, "but where's the steering wheel?" Ah, yes, investigative journalist. L
