Since my friends and I knew we all would be a little homesick for the USA on the 4th of July, we planned a big barbeque/cookout for all of the Americans and our non-American friends in Spain. We had it at the picnic tables near my house after work since unfortunately we had to work for the first time ever on July 4th! It was a gorgeous night and we brought tons of classic American food like clam chowder, potato and pasta salads, shrimp, buffalo chicken, and more. We ended up having around 40 people show up! It was a huge success and we were able to introduce some Germans, Spaniards, and French to one of the best American holidays. They all said they want to celebrate it every year, even if we aren’t there! It was weird not being home for the 4th but it was still really fun, and awesome to spend it with old and new friends!
