4th of July in Grenada

This year was our second 4th of July in Grenada! This year we were able to enjoy the 4th, unlike last year we were working on our final project for our MPH. We spent the day at our friends' apartment on campus. Overall we had a great day celebrating America's Birthday in a foreign country! Here are a few pictures from the day...

The guys put up three flags out on their balcony! Their balcony is directly across from the university entrance so everyone coming on campus was greeted with American flags!

Me with one of the flags...

Derek and Bret under the third flag...

Bret with the flags...he was one of the main organizers for the party. He was so excited for the 4th of July you would have thought it was Christmas morning!

Bret even made a game for the day...you had to guess his 3 favorite Presidents! If you can't see them they were Regan and the 2 Bushs!

What party would be complete without food? Well we had hamburgers on the grill, bratwursts, and I made some of mom's famous baked beans! As you can see in the picture the guys used a rather unusual method to light the charcoal, they did not have any lighter fluid so they just used the burners of the stove top. I would not recommend this...not too smart or clean!

Luckily we had a safer way to cook the bratwursts...Andy and his Foreman grill
I also made a rather festive cake for us to have that weekend!Overall, we have a very fun 4th of July in Grenada!

Looks like you had a good time and were GOODWILL AMBASSDORS for the USA! Your Cake looked GOOD, but a Cocoanut Cream Pie would have been better ! Mimi & B.J. August 12,2009 12:10P.M.
