a fire party

Las Fallas in Valencia is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life. On the evening of Saint Joseph's, every cardboard and paper-mache doll is burnt in the climax of a crazy city-wide party. I had to skip work and am lying in bed recovering from the massive fireworks, explosions, and fires, and food-wise, all the paellas and orxantas and drinks and bunuelos de calabaza. Spain is a good time.
