Happy Independence Day!
It was interesting to celebrate American independence while living in England. Often we're a bit quiet about our patriotism, trying hard not to perpetuate the stereotype of loud, arrogant Americans. But on this day we loudly let everyone know that we love our country.
There are lots of Americans at Lifehope, so I assumed we would have a big party. However, we seem to be a disorganized bunch, since no one actually planned anything for the whole group. Instead, five of us got together for a BBQ.
England did its best to rain on our party, but we defied it. Fortunately we had a covered patio to grill on, so we went ahead with our celebration.
I've been very happy to have Amanda here for the past few weeks. We've been busy sightseeing and chatting and just enjoying each other's company. Early tomorrow morning we head off to Scotland for a five day camping trip with a friend. Should be an adventure!
