I mentioned in this post that there are several things associated with this summer season. Last night I got to enjoy three of them - eating watermelon while wearing a yukata, and watching fireworks.

The fireworks were at Nakagawara, which is basically in the middle of nowhere. (Really, the west of Tokyo.) We sat along the banks of the Tama river, with many many other people, and enjoyed a full hour of fireworks while drinking alcohol (no ban on drinking in public here!) and eating snacks.

Very summer. Very nice. ^_^
