Hello again! Yesterday Mel was at the post office with me, she had her hand on the door, when she decided that she just could not let me leave without seeing the WORLD'S LARGEST Musical Fountain for my life goal! So I got delayed one more day, but it was worth it.
So instead of the post office, we went to the beach. I got to play in the sand while all of the kids played in the big waves!
I am an expert burrower, as a crab...
It was a lovely day, but windy! Sand got EVERYWHERE!
We went to drop off the library books we'd checked out after the Pirate Festival, and then went home to kill some time waiting for it to get dark enough. Then we all hopped into Mel's carry bag and off we went to downtown!
We found a good seat in a small gazebo and waited. It didn't look like we were doing much at all except for watching boats go by in the river. Then there was a voice! It was the fountain itself, it said, and it told us hello. Then music started, and lights came up. It was pretty!
The water shoots high in the air, and even moves around and 'dances', though you can't see that from the still photos. The lights constantly change color, all in time to the music.
Lat night was a 'best of..." night so they played a big variety - from David Bowie to a classical piece to Phantom of the Opera to Lady Gaga!
I had trouble seeing at first but Vanilla offered me the best seat around, on herself. She's a good friend!
I think this is the best picture of the fountain and shows better how big it is. But I am blurry in it. Silly camera. Mel says her great grandfather invented and built the original pipes for the 'peacock' in the middle, which is one of the most popular features!
After a good nights sleep, Mel let me pick out my own travel envelope and off we went to the post office for real this time! I picked a pretty pink one! I think Gizalba and the toys with her will like it! I hope I will see them all soon!
