Our girlies celebrating at the park.
Looking refreshed after our 2 mile hike in the rain!
This truly was a most memorable 4th of July, my first ever to celebrate outside of the good ol' U.S.A. Our plans were to go to the Great American Rib company for dinner as they had advertised a special celebration. Well, as the saying goes...best laid plans! Our driver was sick, so we took the skytrain and walked about a 1/2 mile. Just as we got there, the sky opened up and it began to pour monsoon style. It was then that we discovered that not only was this an open air restaurant, covered only by a tarp like ceiling, but that since we didn't have reservations, we weren't able to join their party. Anyway....long story! The short version is that Sam and I waded home laughing all the way! We had no other option....couldn't hop in a taxi soaking wet, couldn't walk into another restaurant... Our only choice was to enjoy the moment, which we did. How awesome of God to provide a display of heavenly fireworks that we won't soon forget!

Just seeing how my new comment layout works! I'm hoping to make it easier for friends and family to say hi! if they happen to stop by on my blog.

Looks good!
Thanks for your monitoring of Julie's blog.
I remember the day Patsy and a friend walked home in London from the underground station in the rain. It was about a half mile and they were soaked. As with you, laughing all the way.
