Some of the fireworks seemed pretty crazy big to have going off in a residential area; safety concerns aside, they were beautiful!

I spent Saturday running errands. Sunday was a little more exciting. I went to a bouldering gym with a few of the SPS interns and met an intern working in an international justice department.
