Yesterday marked the 4th of July -- it was definitely ironic for us to be celebrating America's independence from England while living in England! =) We had a great day though and tried to celebrate just like we would if we were home in Florida.
We started off by going to our semi-weekly market to pick up some fruits and vegetables for the week. For lunch, we stopped by one of the market stands and got a hamburger and hot dog in honor of the day.
After lunch, we headed down to one of the local pubs for a BBQ with Brian's colleagues (some American, some British). They had a real pig roast (which I just couldn't eat!), and other 4th of July favorites with a British spin. For example, we had a curry potato salad and we had English mustard instead. (British mustard is like our mustard at home except with a kicking dash of horseradish that can clear your sinuses!)
