Sorry for the bag photo quality! It was raining and I was holding Phoenix in our pjs!

So we have heard starting in two weeks it can be crazy around here! Everything shuts down for a week so you have to buy all your groceries and plan ahead.  Supposedly fireworks go off non stop and after a while they become white noise.  A friend last year said that he stood on his balcony and screamed and he couldn’t hear himself! This morning there was a commotion in our courtyard.  Phoenix and I (Thomas was at a fancy international breakfast without me!) found Superman, Jerry the Mouse, a King, and a long red carpet.  They had drawn a large crowd and were speaking on a loudspeaker.  They were saying something about how the King looked like a kid – my language skills don’t exact include interpreting from a loud speaker.  Anyways, everyone was laughing and kids from the surrounding apartments were looking out their window.  They retreated inside and then a minute of fireworks started! In the video I’m talking to Phoenix – but you can’t hear me! I was inside when I took this video too! I guess this is a dress rehearsal!
