Happy 4th of July!

Fast Paraguayan fun fact: the U.S. embassy in Asuncion has their big Independence Day celebration on July 3rd instead of, you know, today (apparently so they don't miss out on a three-day weekend or any World Cup matches).

So...um...we missed it. God willing, I'll be down at the local TGI Friday's drinking two-for-one beers and taking in a little slice of Americana.

Hope everyone's having a happy one!

"O beautiful for spacious skies..."
