Happy 4th of July!!!!!

Sigh. I am definitely missing the 4th in the states. Waking up to a freezing cold, foggy day after having spring and summer like weather here was not my idea of a funny joke. Still, I bounced through my day celebrating quietly to myself as I ran from class to class. One of my students even wished me a happy 4th without launching into some political rant or a gringos ruin the world speech. Bless his heart. While I want to celebrate with barbecue, beer, maybe a parade and fireworks, I'll have to be content with a going away party for some other gringa friends. So instead of saying goodbye, I'm just going to treat it as an independence day celebration. Weee! Happy 4th of July everyone, wherever you may find yourself.
