Last night we went down to the waterfront in Burlington. The local philharmonic orchestra played while the fireworks filled the sky. It was a beautiful warm summer evening, shared with thousands of Burlington citizens. The finale was the 1812 Overture, with many booming canon shots echoing over the promenade.
Then as we were walking away the orchestra started playing "O, Canada!" Remarkably, the thousands broke out in unison. Thousands stopped walking to their cars, and joined in a rousing rendition of the National Anthem. And as we finished off a mighty volley of fireworks filled the sky. All in all a memorable evening.
