Independence day

Today is a national holiday, here in the United States. The country celebrates the Declaration of the Independence which took place the 4th of July, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain. Independence day is commonly associated with fireworks, picnics, parades, baseball games...

In Fort Lauderdale, big fireworks were scheduled at 9 p.m at the Beach Boulevard. This afternoon it started raining, so I was a little bit worried because fireworks and rain don't go together. But, fortunately, the fireworks took place and it stopped raining!! There were fireworks in different places. It was great!! The sky was full of lights, colors......I went there with my neighbors and my family, who arrived last Saturday. We had a great night. We also prepared a barbecue.  The Green Island Inn, the student residence where live a lot of students from Embassy CES, organized a big barbecue, too.

On the other hand, this week I started my classes again, after 15 days of break. I was glad to see again my "old friends " and to have the opportunity to meet new people!!
