Day 76: Painted Sky


Independence, yussssss. Love me some freedom. For fireworks, we ventured over to the Naples pier. Google Maps let us down, but we still managed to find our way, following a crowd of other America enthusiasts who all seemed just as confused and lost as we did. But after walking for a while and hearing but not seeing the fireworks being set off around us, we finally came to a narrow trail that led to the beach and the fabled Roman candles. It was like a midnight vigil out there, a bunch of people sitting quietly in the night as some somber patriotic music filled the air. We were a few minutes late to the show but it was still as awesome as ever. I had my camera out the entire time because you never know when the awesomest firework is about to be set off. And you know I hate missing opportunities like that.

It is harder than you think
To find a good pair of shoulders
To which a competent head is attached

Song: "Fireworks" by The Wedding. I'm super clever with today's song, yeah? It's pop-punk with a very audible country flair, including a choir and a fiddle solo. Yay America!
