Fourth of July in Malaysia

So obviously they do not celebrate the fourth of July here (although I admit the first year I wondered why there were no fireworks... duh).  But our little group of Americans at Dalat did not let that stop us. We gathered together on the beach and had a barbecue on the oceanfront. There was food and friends and sand and waves. We even had a bonfire and roasted marshmallows. What else do you need?

The kids had fun playing in the ocean

We all gathered and said a prayer for the United States and its leaders.

Beautiful sunset
