One might think that celebrating independence from Great Britain
while in one of her countries is a bit insulting or out of place.
However, it seems Aussies are more excited about the excuse to light
fireworks and drink beer than they are offended by my
location-inappropriate celebrations. It just so happened to turn out as
the best 4th of July ever!
I attribute much of its greatness to the spontaneity factor. Most of it
was unplanned, and things just happened. Going to town that morning
wasn't on my to-do list, but it ended up being both productive and
relaxing. I didn't plan on grilling a BBQ for 60 people when I came back
from town, but it was fun, and also my first time BBQing anything
myself.
And though we did plan to set off fireworks that night, no one could have anticipated how awesome it would be.
Post-fireworks, we sat around the fire at Jim's place for a few more
hours. "Shooting the shit" is probably one of the oldest past-times
there are, and it's still one of the best.
Spontaneity FTW!
