In a previous post we mentioned that our home in Costa Rica has a wonderful view over the Central Valley to the west. Last night we took full advantage of this to see in the New Year.
We spent the last couple of hours of 2008 at the house of the daughter of our friends Peter & Victoria, where the family had gathered for food, drink, games, singing and dancing. Just before midnight, we returned to our home with Peter to welcome in 2009.
Peter had previously told us that the there is always quite a display of New Year fireworks and although we had previously seen lots of fireworks at Christmas we were eager to see what it was going to be like.
By the time we arrived at the house, the valley was already alive with fireworks and as Colin & Peter toasted the New Year with their glasses of whisky the fireworks reached a crescendo indicating midnight.
It truly was spectacular to see, hear and even smell so many fireworks across such a large area. The show continued for around 45 minutes and we will probably never experience anything like it again.
The video below can’t possibly show how spectacular it all was, as this is just about 10% of the view and the quality isn’t amazing, but we hope it gives you an idea.
