Fireworks

During almost seven days the people of Valencia celebrate Las Fallas, and other spaniards come here to join the celebrations. It means a lot of light shows, some crazy Fallas-statues and most of all a lot of fireworks. It's not just the kind you shoot into the sky, like we do in Sweden on new year's eve, it's mainly things that go "boom" and everybody lights them everywhere all the time. So it is a kind of confusing start of life in Spain for some quiet swedes like ourselves. Or actually the Arenius-girls love it, but I think it's a little noisy. But even though I am not a big fan of all the noise, we bought some firecrackers for Stella and Aina and had our own Fallas celebration tonight up on the mountain where we live. It was fun (and noisy)!

Tomorrow we will go to Monteluz with some friends from another church that we know here. It's a beautiful retreat place surrounded by thousands of orange trees.
