Dining Al Fresco

on this lovely American Independence Day...

Dining with American expats and Brits [who said, "Good riddance to you, anyway..."], bashing on American politics and Bush (what else is new?). Journalists, biologists, writers and thinkers...talking about Jon Stewart and Paris Hilton and Al Gore...

Feasting on a BBQ cookout with red wine and mojitos, [and don't forget the cheese and crackers!].

Sitting out on the patio to enjoy the cool summer breezes, under a tree with lemons that looked like there were going to burst.

And we almost did with the amount of food we ate. "buon appetito" and we enjoyed it, indeed.

An interesting Independence Day away from home, but surrounded by people who left home wholeheartedly and made their lives elsewhere...

I've said that I can do it...but I'm not so sure anymore.
