One of the families at church threw a 4th of July BBQ for us last night. It was a great collection of people! The event was thrown by a British and Canadian couple. In attendance were Bahamaian, Candaian, Chinese and American citizens. It was a hoot! We had a lovely time and even managed to see the end of the fireworks from Atlantis. Nothing like Thunder of Louisville, but enough to make us feel like we had celebrated properly. We also discovered a new game, 'Blockus'. It is a board game that is played somewhat like Tetris. We plan on finding it when we get home, the math geeks in our family will love it!
We continue to enjoy our time here and we learn something new daily. The Bush adminstration's antics with Scooter Libby has made the papers here for the last several days. I find it interesting to hear people comment on our government and their view of how riddled our system is with corruption and immorality. While I know that we don't have a perfect system and I will be the first to point out we have made our fair share of mistakes, it is still strange to hear other people point out our weaknesses. It is also eye opening to realize that the rest of the world does not idealize our government. In fact, it provides them with a bit of entertainment every now and then.
Hope all is well in your part of the world.
Peace,
Keri
