Thats right, even ten thousand miles away from home we remembered to celebrate!
We spent the morning teaching at Don Bosco and told many of our students that today was a holiday for us so we weren't going to quiz them at the end. Too bad we did anyway....
We had our own American celebration this evening, it was very patriotic. We got KFC and Pepsi and ate it on blankets at Elliots Beach. We had sparklers and a little iPod boombox and played Tom Petty and Brittany Spears and even sang a very off-key rendition of the Star Spangled Banner once.
[KFC is surprisingly popular here. In Spencers Plaza Mall, there is a KFC in the food court and there is ALWAYS and long line and tables full of Indians up to their elbows in finger-lickin' fried chicken]
Shot of all us girls. It wasn't raining, but there is just enough moisture in the air to ruin a really good picture.
Anyway, we had a blast on the beach. Probably the most unique Fourth celebration ever. This prompted a discussion on the things we miss and the things we are going to do once we return to the US.
Most popular included:
- See family
- drive a car
- cook macaroni and cheese
- eat at Chipotle
- wear shorts/tank tops without worrying about being considered INDECENT
More later.
