Burger and beers!

Fourth of July in Bangkok?!? Hey its just another day here...that was until I walked into the American School of Bangkok...and Wooosh, yup, I feel like I am back home! WOW. I have not seen so many farang (Thai for "foreigners") since I left the USA. And hello red white and blue! I tagged along with the Loyola Marymount teachers/students as I was the only Depaul teacher who went to the picnic. So I bought my coupon book of food/beer tickets and immediately headed for the beer stand...American beer please...hello MGD oooh how I have missed thee...I'll take 3. hahaha. I ordered a burger and sat down with my all American meal...beer and Burger for the fourth of July...can it get any better than this? Now only if there were fireworks I would have been happier than a pig in mud!!!

And the kick ass band that played lots of oldies but goodies!! Including one of my all time favs...Mustang Sally! Where are my maracas????

Thank you for the text on the
4th. Looks like you had a nice
4th. From the pictures it looks like any other 4th celebration in the U.S.

Hi Heidi! Glad to know you got a "taste" of home for July 4th. You are missed here as well and we'll have a few MGD's when you are back (did I say a few?-LOTS). Enjoy the last months in such an incredible place. Once you are home, it'll seem like a dream.

Sending a big hug and kiss.

With love,
Linda and Hayley
