This blog will be about my latest escape plan.... leaving my job to become a grad-student and moving from Cambridge,MA USA to Cambridge UK. There will be both blue and gray sky moments as I try to fumble my way through my new surroundings and an ocean out of my comfort zone.

Bonfires, Fireworks, Effigies. Oh My!!

So as I just walked back fireworks were going off left and right. Most of you know......I LOVE FIREWORKS!!!!

This weekend is Guy Fawkes and BonFire Night!
It is the 400year Celebration so this promises to be a good one!!!! I will let you know how it goes. Perhaps I will make some sort of effigy..

Check out this website and here is some info from the link....

The Gunpowder Plot ·
A secret plan to overthrow the king. A mercenary returning from war abroad. Thirty six barrels of gunpowder. . .

In 1605, thirteen young men planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Among them was Guy Fawkes, Britain's most notorious traitor.

Bonfire Night ·
On the night of November 5th, throughout Britain, they celebrate the capture of Guy Fawkes with bonfires and fireworks, and by burning an effigy of Guy.
