July 2 found us celebrating our Nation's Independence in the dead of winter (70'F and sunny) on foreign beaches. Sounds rough, huh? To be fair there were no fireworks or parades but we have addressed this with the embassy and let's just say next year...well, we might have to fly home for that.
Among the six families celebrating at Clontarf Beach there were three sets of twin toddlers, if you are looking for mental birth control we can invite you to our next party! Not just Americans got into the spirit, there were Aussies, and Scots! Thus proving that in Australia the opening of an envelope is cause for celebration if there is a BBQ, a beach or a beer nearby! With all three, you are guaranteed a good time!

Our wonderful Scottish friend was so proud of herself exclaiming in her cute brogue, "I brought something so very American! Chips and Salsa!" It is true, we Americans are crazy about Mexican food, I can see why she would think it is American, because all American Expats talk about is eating good Mexican food. But sadly, we did not invent it! The honor goes to our neighbors down South.
