Intrigued by what one of my companions in Romania had told me about a 'Burning Man' in the States, I departed Romania several hours ago and apparated to the Hualapai flat in Nevada. From what I understand, the event had been moved there unexpectedly from a place called Black Rock Desert. I am quite relieved that this gathering was moved as I do so enjoy grassy areas much more than the desert. The weather is quite lovely, much more calm and dry than what I had been finding in Romania these past few days.
There are so many people about that it makes it difficult to get from one area of the grounds to the next. Although I have come to understand Muggles much more than I had previously, I must confess that I was quite alarmed by some of the activities I have both witnessed and/ or found myself a participant in this night. For example, there is a very large ammonite that is lit up. Before I could protest that I was merely inspecting it and did not wish to become involved in whatever was going on there, I found myself being herded through the fossil with a pack of other women to its center, where we were forced to devolve and go about on all fours and then finally wriggle about like some common flobberworm!
I have also born witness to a pageant called The Burning Man Mythos where a brawd-shouldered man adorned in things which made him somewhat resemble a sperm danced with what a woman standing near me termed 'Vestal Virgin Barbies.'
This was, of course, all very confusing to me. I had thoughts of disapparating once more but then it was announced that the Man would Burn.
Burn he did!
The Burning Man was quite tall and made of wood and something shining brightly. While all of the people present gathered around, the man was set afire. If I turn around now, I can still see the flames. They have dwindled down a great deal now but He is still smoldering.
This has been quite an interesting evening, indeed.

Your mother would do well to concern herself with matters of her own business!
Displeased,
