To me, nothing says God Bless the USA like a good old fashioned Fourth of July barbecue. Some americana bunting, beautiful fireworks, celebrations with family and friends, and enough red, white, and blue cookies to feed a small army. I was disappointed to be spending my first Independence Day abroad -- the thought of a BBQ and some swimming in the pool sounds like heaven right now!! -- but luckily my abroad program is made up of almost entirely Americans who were also missing the USA on this holiday. Our directors coordinated a Fourth of July potluck picnic for us at Divo Ostrov, St. Petersburg's main amusement park with lots of picnic grounds open to the public. Although it was different than what I would normally expect, our celebration was still lots of fun. It is nice to have a reminder every now and then of the things you love about your home, it reminds me of how Proud I am to be an American!
