Fireworks

In Kiev it is not uncommon to see, or at least hear, fireworks any (and sometimes every) night of the week. Last night, though, every direction I could see from my window someone was setting off fireworks in celebration of this nation’s independence. It was really neat to watch. Then, as I settled into bed, out the window, just above the apartments across the street was the beautiful, bright shining moon. I wish I had my camera so I could have taken a picture. I’m sure it wouldn’t have done it justice, though.
