We
were able to celebrate the Fourth of July here in Tanzania. Some other American
friends invited us to this restaurant by the ocean. The restaurant let us bring
food in as long as we bought our drinks there. There were ten adults and two
kids there. Our friend who had planned the get together had gotten stuff for
the fourth. So we had an American flag, red, white, and blue balloons, and an
American tablecloth. We even had
sparklers! It felt like a little piece of America in Tanzania.
We
had veggies and dip and chips and guacamole for appetizers. We had grilled fish
and shrimp tacos, a salad, and a fruit salad for dinner; with cookies and
marshmallow treats for dessert. It was so nice to get to relax and celebrate
with other Americans. When we were all done there we went over to one couples
house that has a fire pit in the backyard -
where we sat out under the stars around a fire drinking coffee and
eating chocolate.
There
were no fireworks but we were able to see a couple shooting starts. It was beautiful.
