Fourth of July - what are Yanks abroad doing?
Ah, July 4. Independence Day for us Yanks. I was just having a conversation about what the Brits are doing today, as Yanks in the UK are probably hootin' and hollerin'.
I wonder what the Brits do in those situations? Do they wish the Yanks well? Or do they notice?
Hmmm... the only US-type holiday I'll be around for, really, is Halloween. (I'll probably be leaving Marseille for Barcelona.) I wonder how international that is – Halloween is one of my favorite holidays though. Maybe I should dress up as Dubya... Nah. That's just inviting an arse-whoopin'. Besides, where would I find a Curious George mask in Spain? Or maybe I could dress up as a conductor... but something tells me ye ol' train staff might not take kindly to that.
"Ticket please... TRICK OR TREAT!"

Halloween definitely doesn't have the following in Europe that it does in the states. I think Carnvale takes care of that "different character" obsession. Still though, places celebrate.
