Day 39

As I expected, I was too tired to do anything this morning.  Even though I woke up just fine at 9:30, I wanted to sleep some more.  Like 3 hours more.  So I did, and then just moved around a bit, failed at laundry until I went back to the laundromat, paid at a convenience store with the equivalent of a $100 bill and didn't even receive any strange looks, was able to finish some of my homework, make another omelette, and then make it down to the fireworks.

The Okazaki fireworks are the loudest in Japan, and that's fairly evident if you attend them.  I showed up late due to finishing up some stuff back here, but still probably lost some of my hearing and won't get it back.  My pictures taken were few and far between, because we were behind trees most of the time we were walking around.  I did, however, have an exceptionally tasty strawberry icy drink and a chocolate churro, which was enough to hold me over for the rest of the day.

As pictures are often stronger than words (1000x, if I believe correctly), I'll leave the rest of today up to them.  That, and a video or two.  This is really just a lame attempt at clouding the fact that I didn't do much today.  So, look for more excitement tomorrow.
