Buddha's Birthday


It was Buddha's Birthday here in Brisbane (and elsewhere) and we had a celebration. There are a lot of Chinese people here and there was a festival on the South Bank just down from the apartment. Here is a picture shot from our balcony of the fireworks.

Winter is supposed to be coming but it is still a good 30 degrees C during the day (86 F). Tomorrow is labor day here in Queensland (vs. the first of May everywhere). Anyway, I have the day off. The thing to do on long weekends around here is to get outside (I played golf) and go barbeque. The city has put barbeque in lots of nice places, including along the river, so everybody barbeques. Hope you are getting outside too...
