Celebrating that red, white, and blue!
Because I won't be here over the summer, I'm going to just throw this out there a bit in advance: should
you be craving fireworks in the near future, finding yourself unable to wait for Bonfire Night in far-off November, or just needing an excuse for a barbeque, you can sate yourself with a Fourth of July party!
So there may not be a rodeo in town, and maybe you're not exactly in America - but hey. By the time the Fourth of July rolls around, I encrouage you all to find that inner Yank and celebrate, because when you think about it, independence, no matter where you're at, is always a thing worth celebrating!
you be craving fireworks in the near future, finding yourself unable to wait for Bonfire Night in far-off November, or just needing an excuse for a barbeque, you can sate yourself with a Fourth of July party! I know it seems a bit cheeky to celebrate in the former motherland, but I think all parties involved can, 234 years later, just laugh about it over a can of Bud. You can toss some burgers and hot dogs on the grill, throw together American picnic and barbeque fodder like potato salad, sliced watermelon, corn on the cob, and apple pie, and seriously have yourself an awesome time. The Fourth of July - officially in the states known as
Independence Day - epitomizes the American summer by not only commemorating our country's Independence, but by forcing people all across the nation to just relax with a pile of ribs, the sun, and family and friends. By night, in any major city, you'll find a crazy display of fireworks, or a more tame one - but no less fun - in your own neighborhood street. Where I come from, there's even a local rodeo to celebrate the holiday - and even if you're not the cowboy sort, it is seriously one of the best ways to spend the Fourth of July weekend.
