Summer Fireworks in Vancouver

As soon as Jomar and I got back from our "big" Philippines wedding, it's summer in beautiful Vancouver! We attended one of three Honda Celebration of Lights. We're only free to watch Team India on July 27. After attending the 5:00 PM Saturday Mass celebration at St. Augustine's we walked with our chair to Vanier Park.

Moreover, we enjoyed a wonderful, clear day and the amazing sunset. The crowd at Vanier Park Beautiful Sunset Dusk. The show is about to start.

I think this is where I will end my series of blog posts about our trip to the Philippines. Sorry, it took three months to share them here. As soon as we got to Vancouver, we went straight home. I ordered Indian food using SkipTheDishes and cooked some rice for our lunch and dinner. We went back to work the following morning. It's great to back!
