Friday the fourth, Edi had to work like any normal day. When he got home, we (including Kona) walked to Army and Navy Burgers and Burritos to pick up some burgers, fries and soft drinks. We went to the park where we had a nice, little picnic and watched kids play in the lighted shooting water fountain. We could actually hear fireworks and could see the glow in the sky, but we couldn’t actually see anything from where we were.
Saturday we did a little shopping and had lunch at Slice this great little cafe on High Street. They have watermelon slushes – yum! They also have desserts in a jar –our choice was red velvet cake. After lunch we headed over to Santis Deli to get fixings for a burger meal. I love going to the deli… it is like being in a little French market where you pick your meat, bread, fresh veggies. That evening we cooked a delicious meal – burgers with fresh bread instead of buns, homemade pasta salad, and baked beans – ok, they were not my Aunt Joy’s baked beans, but they were baked beans nonetheless. As we were sitting down to eat, we heard a loud ‘boom!’ We headed out to our balcony for a fabulous firework show right above our building.
Sunday was very relaxing – it is supposed to be a day of worship and rest. We walked to the super market for some groceries, did some reading, and just hung out. Sunday evening we tried a new restaurant, Puccini’s Café. It’s a great little restaurant with plenty of outside seating, read and white checkered table cloths, and delicious food. We ended our mean with chocolate marshmallow cake – yum! It was really nice outside, so we had a pleasant walk back to our apartment.
Turns out, I shouldn’t have been worried at all about the Fourth of July!
