Tonight Naomi and I watched a huge fireworks display. The past four nights people aroud New Zealand have set off fireworks in honor of Guy Fawkes. November 5 marks the downfall of the Gunpowder Plot of November 5, 1605 in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to destroy the Houses of Parliament in London. The day is primarily celebrated in the U.K. but New Zealand as a former British colony gets seriously into celebration. The fireworks in the neighborhood have kept us awake past midnight this week.
