We had friends in town this past weekend. It was fun to have guests again, especially since they were our age and wanted to go out on the town (no offense to the old folks that just visited...we love you too).
The weekend was especially fun because it was the fourth of July. Ryan and I volunteered a few hours at the American Society of Bermuda and the US Consulates 4th of July bash and got free tickets for the event. There was a huge BBQ dinner and beer and mojitos. The fireworks were set off right from the beach and were actually pretty good. We felt just like we were living in the US as the DJ was playing, "God Bless the USA." It was actually a little weird to be out of the USA and still be attending such a huge 4th of July bash. There were over 6,000 people in attendance and I heard it is the biggest 4th celebration outside of the USA. I am not sure if that is true, but it was pretty spectacular.
We continue to play volleyball two nights a week and have a great time meeting people and getting out to the beach more then I would have ever imagined. We go to the beach at least once a weekend and twice a week for volleyball. The water is warm now and it is just too beautiful to pass up. Yesterday we went to the beach with two scooters and were able to get 4 beach towels, 1 beach mat, 1 beach chair, a small cooler, and 2 beach umbrellas! We sure have a hang of this scooter riding thing.
My sister Amanda comes Wednesday, so I am sure we will have more stories to come.
Until next time...
