The continuing story of Josh and Megan, now in the land of tea and beer.
There are so many things to say about this fourth of July (especially given that our last one was in Bangkok) but I'll just say briefly that we are going to a 4th of July party and sharing the day with a bunch of Americans.
The theme? Mexican.
Ironic.
P.S. This is just funny... I'm not sure how I feel about it and I don't know this guy but right now I just find it funny and it deals with American-ism.

Josh - The fireworks in Big Rapids really did look almost like your picture. And there were lots of loud noises too! Happy Independence Day - a little late!
