As we all got to the town square and finished our parade we quietened down and listened to people saying happy Swiss Day in their Mother tongue. They said it to all the people from the village who had come to see our parade. 

Finally the fireworks started, they lit up the night sky and we stared in awe at the colourful explosions that the fireworks created. We were all so captivated by it that when it had ended it felt like it had only been going on for 5 minutes. Everyone cheered as they ended and I am sure we will remember that day and everytime the 1st of August comes around again we will all have celebrations of our own no matter where we are in the World.

Ps. Good news, I am not scared by the loud bangs of fireworks anymore..wohoo!
