¡Feliz Día de Independencia!


It was a very low-key celebración for us. 

There wasn’t anything traditional about the way we celebrated this year….no back yard BBQ, or swimming in the pool.  We didn’t even eat “American” cuisine!  But we did watch “Fireworks” and the senario was right out of my own childhood.  Someone brought some simple fireworks so that the niños could see some spark and colors before needing to turn in for the night.  We didn’t even start at dusk, but the shade from our trees provided a good backdrop for bright colors.  The most important thing? 

The niños loved the simple DIY show and we didn’t have to leave our backyard!

4 de Julio



Feliz Dia de Independencia! Ours was very low-key as we just arrived home from the playa that afternoon.  So our little asado was attened by just the sun-tired beach-bums and a few felines.  Chef Paco diligently attended to the carne. Miau!

The food was deli and tipico Summer asado treats!

The only felina however, to actually eat the carne, however, was the tierna Gatita Sofia!
What is a Día de Independencia without a little fireworks and
an enthralled onlooker!
