The beach and fireworks by Oli



Hi again - sorry I haven't written in a while but it's been so fun!!! Yesterday we went to a beach called Sitges it was warm and sunny and we hired a pedal boat with a slide on it that leads into the water on the beach there was this guy who was a professional sand sculptor and he was making a dolphin going over a wave… when we got home we had a siesta because Paul and Xavi were coming over with fireworks to celebrate Saint-Juan. Later that night we went out into the city to see a big bonfire in the middle of the street and lots of fireworks. In Spain they have lots of fireworks different to the ones in N.Z like ones that you light and they just make a big bang, and other ones that are little stones (gunpowder) wrapped in paper that you throw on the ground and they explode and make a little spark (I threw one at the neighbors' house and they shouted something at me) another firework was like a buzzy bee and it spins up in the air and whistles, our uncle Xavi lit one and it went up and lit our neighbors' upstairs towel on fire a bit… : (


Hope to talk to you tomorrow and I'll try and get some photos in…


See ya, Oli
