Happy Belated Fourth!

I was trying to remember what I did last year for the 4th of July. Can't really remember! I had to look back at the blog from last July and seemed like I was busy decorating my pad and dreaming about Salami (Cousin Will- where's the salami you promised?)

All the USAID folks went down to Medan for a party at the American Consulate, which meant 2 less Americans to party with on the Fourth. I also got this brilliant idea of trying to find fireworks in Banda. After checking out a couple of stores in the Chinese part of the town, I ended my search empty handed. No shooting illegal fireworks off of my roof this year. There needs to be an internet site that delivers fireworks to Banda - overnight service preferred.

It's safe to say I did not do anything Americana on the 4th of July. I had lasagna for lunch, watched non-Americans slug it out at Wimbledon and celebrated an Aussie's birthday.

Wait, I did eat some M&Ms. Does that count?!
