Japanese Festival

Last night we went to a festival at Sunset Beach. We ate lots of -yaki (grilled food). Terriyaki sticks, seafood omelet stuff, noodles, and other things I can't identify. We sat on the beach surrounded by Japanese people and watched the coolest fireworks I have ever seen. One firework shot into the ocean leaving a trail of red flames in its wake. After a few seconds the red flames exploded into fountains of fireworks. I was suprised to hear the ooh's and aah's after the fireworks sound the same in America.
