El Cuatro de Julio!

Today is Fourth of July! Obviously, no big deal in Spain. But that didn´t stop me from wearing red, white, and blue to school today. :) In my culture class, our professor asked us to sing the Star Spangled Banner, so we did. I am headed to the beach in a few to spend the day basking in the Spanish sun and appreciating America from afar. Because really, Spain is an awesome country and all, but it´s not home. And no matter what the rest of the world thinks of us, I love being American. So that´s what today is for me. It´s not about barbecues and fireworks and all that, it´s about actually appreciating the country we live in. On that note, all of us are going to dinner tonight at the most American restaurant we could come up with. It will be nice to eat our food, speak our language, and not care if everyone thinks we´re typical Americans. Today is our day and we´re going to enjoy it. :)
