It's strange to be celebrating the 4th of July in a foreign land, all be it, 40 minutes from the US border. There is no red, white and blue in sight--no buntings, no flag t-shirts and baseball caps, no American flags flying high. It just feels different.
Our family is trying to keep the spirit of the day. We went for a bike ride and then enjoyed shishkabobs, watermelon, corn on the cob and s'mores while listening to our favorite Boston Pops and Aaron Copeland CDs. We're hoping to see fireworks later. It just feels different.
The locals who don't agree on the many virtues of our nation, all agree that Americans are very patriotic. Good for us.
We are loving this international experience in Montreal, but we are Americans first.
Happy Independence Day! Light a sparkler for me....
ABCO, way to be so insightful and loving. I think Disney's Princess Protection Program movie teaches well that to be treated like a Princess you have to act like one. Glad you are staying strong. It is so worth it! It will make all the differnce.
