Independence

I had a wonderful evening on July 4 with two other American couples.  We made chilli dogs and mac and cheese (as you know) and drank Miller High Life.  We watched an episode of the Andy Griffith Show in which Andy teaches Opie about US History (and meets Miss Crump for the first time).  Then we watched A Face In the Crowd.  If you are even the slightest fan of the late Andy Griffith, you really should watch this film. It will shock you.

We did not do any fireworks as you can only buy fireworks in New Zealand on the four days leading up to Guy Fawkes.  Its very odd to walk outside on the night of July 4th and be met by cold wind and no sounds of rockets or sights of red glare.
