Fourth of July with the Samedis!

For the 4th of July, we went to Cambridge to Celebrate with Bernie and Alison. As a real treat, Bernie took us to the Commissary on the American Base up that way. Why do I love the Commissary? Because it's JUST like shopping in a Safeway in the States! I can buy Velveeta, and Fiber One Cereal and Goya Products and Breyer's ice cream - it's fantastic! One this trip though, we focused on BBQ friendly food. 


Andrew and Bernie were the grill masters for the day while Alison and I made the sides in the Kitchen. This is also the day where I got to experience "Big Fat Gypsy Weddings," a view into one of the most bizarre cultures I have ever seen! They get married SUPER young, as young as 15 or 16 and men "grab" them and drag them to a dark corner to show their interest - so crazy. We watched probably 5 episodes of this show in between pigging out. 

Finally, we ended the night by going out in Cambridge - with the college kiddies :) I had on a strappy Maxi dress and Alison, I top and some jeans. We looked like nuns compared to what every other girl was wearing. Maybe I'm just getting old, but it seriously felt like there was a competition to see who could wear the least! 

Anyways, as usual, it was a great night out with B & A. Love those guys!
