4th of July in Africa

Someone asked if they have the 4th of July in Africa. Yes they do, as well as the 3rd of July and the 5th of July! Ha! Ha!

Seriously, the Americans got together for a 4th of July celebration. As with everything it was the same but different. We had a chili cookoff, volleyball game, homerun hitting contest (hard to find bats and balls though), food and fireworks. We had popcorn and pre packaged cotton candy. We had hamburgers and hotdogs with BBQ beans and potatoe salad. Not quite as good as back home but fun. We also had a small fireworks show.

The weather was beautiful, a little cool but not cold after the sun set. The fun part is the fireworks were done and we were on our way home by 7 pm since it is winter and short days here. Here are some pics of the event.

Friends - I was taking the picture and thus cut myself off since my arms aren't that long :-)
