Today was not only the 4th of July—Independence Day—but also the final match of Euro 2004, the European Soccer Championship. Portugal and Greece played so we had some friends over and made Greek food to eat with Portugese wine. Greece won in beautiful underdog fashion and a good time was had by all.
We were thinking about going to see the town fireworks since we weren't being good Americans, but there is a very large storm cloud moving in on the weather radar. Hell, I've been in D.C to see 4th of July fireworks - I've even watched the Boston fireworks from the top of a Beacon Hill townhome after walking the "Freedom Trail". Yes, I have done my "good American" duties before - I had never had Greek food and Portugese wine together though.
