Independence Day

Last Friday was Independence Day, 4 July. Time has flown so fast that I've made two posts on other matters since then, but I would amiss not to report briefly on the national holiday.


In practice, we didn't do much that day apart from have some rest, go shopping, prepare for and attend a party, and position ourselves for the finale ... the inevitable firework display. Some heavy showers during the afternoon left us (a) wondering whether the event would occur and (b) whether the barges carrying the fireworks would be relocated. In the end, the rain held off and there were two barges at different locations forcing us to rotate on the spot to witness them all. Our party including several of Greg's Australian colleagues.

I include a couple of pictures of the fireworks.
