Being in a foreign country can't stop us from celebrating America's birthday! (and Ellie's birthday!) The Kaplan's (our professors) cooked hamburgers and hot dogs for us with watermelon and potato salad. This is probably the most American meal we've had since we've been here. And of course what 4th of July celebration is complete without sparklers? And no one caught anything on fire so there's that. Luckily, our college is called The American College of Deree, which means that we get to observe our American holiday by not having class on Friday!
Since we have been studying so much history about Greece, it's crazy to see what a young country we are. Greece's history is so rich and complex it's hard to even listen to it all, much less try and put all the pieces together and understand how all of the outside influences helped create the country that stands today. Don't get me wrong, I love the USA but I'm also beginning to love this country more and more too. It's still surreal to think that I am actually living in this country! From Greece to America: Happy 4th of July yall!
