Many times this year we have found out about a holiday the day before. This week, we had a little more warning for Republic Day - the celebration of when the constitution was amended and the country became a republic. We thought there would be a parade of some sort, but were pleasantly surprised to find out we had fireworks in our harbor instead. This first set made our giant bridge invisible!
Micah was actually quite enthused to point and clap at the different fireworks...especially the 'green' ones as that is his new favorite word. It is difficult to capture that enthusiasm on camera, but believe us, he enjoyed staying up past his bedtime!
Our plaza was packed with people watching the brilliant display. Boats throughout the harbor set off rockets so that you could see the show all the way down the Bosporus. Very cool. We'll definitely put this holiday and event on our calendar for next year!
