0705 The July 4th firework

It is the Independence Day on July 4th in the United States, and there were many celebrations in many cities. Boston also had the celebration and firework. Even though I will have a midterm of my accounting class, I still decided to see the firework on July 4th because that was the first time that I participated this celebration. I knew I should go to the Esplanade earlier and enjoy the concert, but I cannot leave the midterm away, so I stayed home to review accounting until 8:30pm. When I was on the way by my bicycle to the Harvard Bridge, where I chose to see the firework, there were a lot of people sit and wait beside the Charles River. The government also blocked part of the Storrow Dr. to get more space for citizens, and it was my first time to ride bicycle on the Road only for cars.

After arriving in the Harvard Bridge, I was surprised at the crowed people because my friend told me it would not be crowded on the Harvard Bridge. I walked to the middle of the bridge. The view of the Charles River was so beautiful that I almost forgot the midterm. There were also some yachts, and I thought it was better to see the firework on the yachts. At 10:32pm, the firework began. Although the firework was late 2 minutes, it was spectacular. I also heard some Americans said some shapes of firework were like the trademark of Pepsi. At the time, I thought if it is possible to use firework to advertise. If some companies use this way to advertise, it might make people impressive.
