American Splendor

Ok, I got a little behind and now you are getting two in one day...

It was the fourth of July on Sunday. And while you were all asleep in your little beds on Saturday night, festivities were underway here.

I really do love the fourth of July though. And something about it being 60 degrees here and not having corn fields...or corn for that matter, all around me, was sad.

But, we must celebrate in any way we can.

I met Rachel on the tram, this whole thing was her idea. Cupcakes, watermelon, root beer floats and hot dogs. What is more American than that? OK, what in Melbourne is more American than that?

I couldn't get fireworks. But I did play some Springsteen. It was my second fouth of July in Australia. The last one I spent at Planet Hollywood. I think this round wins.
