If I had a rocket launcher. . . oh, I do!

Our last night in Florianopolis contained two of my (Dana) favorite activities-- fireworks and a picnic on the beach during sunset. We knew that fireworks are legal here so Phil and Maddie went to the grocery store to buy some. Phil lit them and ka-boom-- sparkles and flares shooting out about 100 feet just like the show that fire departments trained in pyrotechnics handle in the States. Kids, don't try this at home. Kids, don't try this away from home. Kids, just don't try this! It was very beautiful, however. And Phil still has ten fingers and two arms. (having trouble with the photos, will add later).
