El Castillo was a series of firework displays...spinning wheels morphed into colorful figures that the children called out: "It's a butterfly! Una mariposa!" "Zapatos! Shoes!" It started at the bottom of the tower and worked it's way up, culminating in a large octopus that turned and waved its tentacles up and down...quite spectacular. Even the two wheels that refused to spin and that required a worker to climb the tower in the midst of flying sparks and burning remnants from the previous wheel to set them going were spectacular...maybe moreso!
A grand finale with traditional overhead fireworks ended the night and families started home through the smoke-filled plaza, tired, excited, and very proud of San Blas.
