Thank you, Deb! It's also a nice day of independence from the tyranny of my job. There is a marching band marching down the sidewalk in front of my house right now on their way to the parade on next street. Very festive and odd. :-)
I ended up celebrating July 4th three times in Europe in the 1980s. Once in Wales, once in London and once in France. The French and Welsh were sympathetic...the Londoners made fun of us and had a grand time toasting it pubs.

Date: 2013-07-05 08:46 am (UTC)Heh! Sounds about right. You'd think neither the French nor the Welsh ever had anything to do with colonialism themselves.
