Forth of July



Our first Forth of July was a great time. Apparently it's a pretty big holiday here, like New Years Eve in New York City. There was a beautiful display of fireworks, music and thousands of other people that came out.


For the weekend, one of James's friends came up from NYC and stayed a few days. We had a blast showing Ivy around our new apartment and the city, as she was our very first guest. After she was all settled in we kicked off bar-b-q of veggies, tofu and veggie dogs. After stuffing ourselves we headed out on our bicycles to downtown Cambridge to see the fireworks over the Charles River.

Once the fireworks were over we began riding back home and thats when we realized just how popular this holiday was. The streets became flooded with people and we struggled to ride home with so many other people trying to do the same. An hour later we had all made it home, tired, but glad to have seen the spectacular display of fireworks. I recommend coming up for next year's display.
