As part of the festivities they held a concert and markets at the town's beach. I went there for a peek and found a friend with poi busking. A few of us joined in taking turns to entertain. Later, we went to the waterfront and saw that there was 1000 candles being set up on the ground in the shape of a huge peace dove. We decided we really should go for a spin in the middle of it. A few others saw us at it and joined in, 5 fire twirlers in the light of the rising moon, music and people everywhere. Then the fireworks started up. Then a cameraman came and filmed us. ------------------Your parents were wrongFire is good Play with fire
