Fourth of July...

Fourth of July in other countries is not quite the same...but entertaining nonetheless. Sarah and Helen and I got together to celebrate a little bit. I was feeling quite sweaty and gross during the day, so before I went to Sarah`s I showered and put on makeup, which I rarely do here. I also put on a cute shirt. I stopped by the cyber cafe that I usually go to on the way there to say happy fourth and they all gave me a hard time because they didn`t recognize me. Sad really...when I`m showered and presentable no one recognizes me.

Helen brought over apple cake...not quite the same as apple pie I know...but there is no apple pie here. We were happily eating and hanging out and Helen put on some music. Just as the music started the electricity went out. Perfect. It was ok though, we hung out for a while longer and then went home. I missed watermelon and firecrackers, but you can`t have everything.
