A Very Mexican 4th!

*Happy 4th of July!*

Strange to be celebrating it in a foreign country but at the same time fitting - I have a deeper respect and love for my country than ever before.

I love Mexico.
I love Brasil.
But nothing will ever compare to the love I have for
the United States of America.


We celebrated with Hamburger, hot dogs, root beer, and ice cream. Very American.
We celebrated with a pinata, arracherra, guacamole. Very not-American.
We celebrated all afternoon, which made me a happy girl and... a tired girl.


But I do miss this today:

(Fact: This is my FIRST 4th not in our Nations capital (ok, there was one year I had to go to Pioneer Trek) but I am a faithful D.C. firework attender - rain, hail, terrorist threats, or shine!)

I am proud to be an American - in Mexico - and always.

God Bless the U.S.A
