Though a little ironic, I had such a nice time celebrating the 4th here in the motherland. After a rather productive day at the library working on my dissertation, some Americans, Canadians (Almost Americans!) , and French (seemed appropriate to include them) and naturally no Brits celebrated Independence Day with a BBQ. The weather was gorgeous and definitely the coolest 4th Celebration I've ever had. We played Ultimate Frisbee, Volley Ball (without a net!) and then ended the evening right before midnight by taking a walk down to the Pier where the wind was whipping all around us giving us a chance to hear the Pier sing. So even without all the spectacular fireworks, it was a very memorable 4th with all my foreign friends congratulating us Americans on our day of Independence!
