We've been asked by several people about the Fourth of July: Do we celebrate it in Kenya? How? With whom?
Yes! We do celebrate the Fourth here in Kenya. Both last year and this year, we had a BBQ at our house for anybody (whether American or not) who wanted to come. This year, we had about 60 people. Here are the stats:
Countries represented:
-USA (States: California, Texas, Virginia, Colorado, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida)
-Canada
-Kenya
-Australia
-United Kingdom
We grilled hot dogs (thanks to our neighbor Paul for letting us use his grill while he's back in the States!), and the kids played with glow bracelets and rubber-band-launched rockets sent from California. It was fun to remember our home country and introduce others to our traditions.
You had a bigger party in Nairobi than we had in Watsonville! What fun...both there and here!
