We’ve been busy this weekend — trying to find a place to live, a car, and a mobile phone. Tonight we went back to the botantic gardens near where we are currently staying to see another outdoor concert. Concert was good, with lots of dancing again, on a beautiful night. But on the way back to our house we saw the most amazing sight.
Along both sides of the path back through the botanic gardens there were thousands of spots of slightly greenish light, as if there were fairies out having a great party. They were everywhere — by the stream, along the side of the trail, and especially in banks where they had cut the trail into a slope. They were “glow worms”. We had heard of the famous glow worm cave, but here they were, thousands and thousands of them surrounding us on all sides.
We found a web page about them, for those people who want to know more. Here it is: http://www.angelfire.com/or3/orchidsnz/wbg/wbgglow.htm
Last night we were downtown, and at the waterfront there was yet another free music event — the one day Latin Festival. There seems to be an amazing amount of music going on here, at least during the summer. The events are good, and seem to be popular.
