My first Fourth of July (extended edition)



I had already saw in several movies the 4th of July celebration. But it was first time in it. I could realize how import is this holiday for American people. I and realized so many times. For 3 days. 5 times in Whitewater downtown. So much America.

On July 3rd afternoon all group went to downtown, so the tutors told us some stories about the Independency Day. And by the night we went back to enjoy the carnival. But there was almost nobody in there! But we had some food and even a ride!

The 4th of July was such a long and busy day! We woke up early to meet Ron Binning. Me, the other Lucas (Lucas two, Zaza, whatever) and Lu spent the entire day with him and his family. So, it was parade time! And more than watch it, we were IN the parade! We were in Ron's care all way long. I was so ashamed! We went to downtown carnival again and after that, we watched Brazil vs Colombia in Ron’s house. The match was so intense! That moment was great because Ron and his family are not “soccer people”. So they had a lot of questions about the game, and we were glad to explain! Back to downtown, we saw the beautiful fireworks presentation. So nice!


In the next day, we were back again in downtown with Erica and Missy. That was a quick one. Erica taught it was our first time there(!!!) hahaha. But the good part is that a had delicious pepperoni sticker at Topper’s. Certainly, I will go back there for more!  And on the way back to UWW we so the fireworks again.


That was my 3-days Independency Day!

  2. Lucas, what an exciting opportunity to be able to be IN the parade! There's no need to be ashamed or embarrassed; it's an honor! Your host family sounds wonderful! Will you all be seeing more of them throughout the year?
