I realized when you tell people Happy 4th of July in South Africa (out of habit) they look at you funny. There is a slight bit of hesitation and then a courteous smile as they walk away, at least that's what happened to me at a café I was at.
Living on base with a mix of different cultures, we recognize a few holidays from each! I think it just gives us more opportunity to come together and celebrate as family!
Having a BARBAQUE instead of a BRAAI and playing cards!
So I would like to wish you a happy 4th of July from one family to another!
We may be in South Africa in sweaters and scarfs, but we sure know how to celebrate with a boxed firework and sparklers!
