Independence Day Celebration
Yesterday, we went to the Atlantic Club (former American Club) to an Independence Day celebration put on by the Embassy. It was just burgers and hot dogs and conversation by the pool. The new ambassador did read President Bush’s proclamation, but other than that it was very informal. In fact, the games and volleyball that were advertised never did happen. I think it was because so many were in at the bar watching the World Cup on the projection TV!
I thought the juxtaposition of red, white and blue with a palm tree and mango tree was classic.
