Just like folks all over the USA did on Saturday, pals Christine and Valerio opened their home to, well, a lot of people to celebrate Independence Day. Here are those hosts...
Small difference is that their home is in a country that is neither the country that was seeking independence nor the poor country that lost that revolution.
There were some Americans...
Unlike other parties celebrating the 4th, those were the only five Americans at the party of about 50 people. And one of those 5 is actually an Italian who is an honorary American having lived in New York for 35 years.
New York was almost as well represented as, well, the USA...
Like gatherings for the 4th EVERY WHERE there were grilled burgers and rain.
But Christine and Valerio's party also had ...
a Brit and a Hungarian husband and wife team patting the patties.
a 73 year old retired English farmer eating the first burger of his life.
And ...
A full, double rainbow with an Italian in a funny hat enjoying it.
Like many a good party, we had some kareoke...
And a retired British opera singer.
Also like all good parties, there was a guy from the Philippines who pulled up behind the wheel of a Honda Civic with New Jersey plates...
And of course, dancing and decorations...
(sorry about that photo. the decorations went way beyond those cool red, white and blue paper chains you see there...for example Christine spray painted stars all over the the patio - way cool).
Thanks Christine and Valerio.
