4 july.

I never know how to celebrate holidays here, but we do want to try! For this year’s 4th of July we enjoyed a nice swim in the rain, and then we went to the nice grocery store in town and bought the foods we miss most from the States!

For Stephen, that was a burger with a fresh homemade bun. And some French fries & grilled veggies on the side.

For me, it’s salad.

We splurged for delicious lettuce, rocket, zucchini, and–the best!–blueberries & pecans. We found some goat milk in town and attempted goat cheese–a form of ricotta made from goats milk; it was pretty close! I looked forward to this salad for days and it was ahhhhhmazing! It completely lived up to my own hype.

So happy 4th of July. We’re so thankful to have been born free, with papers and in blessed families; even if that is just so we could move to another country!
