4th July is all about American's winning independence from us Brits. Now even though this has caused many subsequent issues for me (i.e. it's not so easy to get a US Visa as it probably would be) I think it may have become my favourite US holiday! It's all about sunshine, fun and fireworks - what more could anyone want. I joined 20 or so other fellow Brits on Wednesday to celebrate the historical significance of Great Britain failing to hang on to its territory with a giant picnic in the continuing New York heatwave.
We sat in Maxwell Park which is at the tip top of Hoboken. It's right on the river and has beautiful views of both the fireworks and the Empire State Building (which was Red, White & Blue for the event). We got there early, bagged a prime spot and had some fun...followed by the most spectacular fireworks I've ever seen!
