I know that this holiday is not for everyone out there but as I have not celebrated it in 7 years from being outside of the US, I felt it nice to simply give a small shout out to all of my fellow people who are enjoying this celebration no matter if you are American or just visiting. It’s a fun day no matter where you come from to see the fireworks and spend time with friends and loved ones.
Today I find myself visiting one of my closest childhood friends and am staying in the beautiful Santa Monica area of greater Los Angeles. Truth be told, I am not the biggest fan of LA as I feel that I have always resonated more with the East Coast mentality but I have always loved Santa Monica, and of course the beach.
So today will be a celebration of the 4th on the beach which I am quite excited about as I love hear the waves which certainly helps the stress levels. Although yesterday I foolishly burnt my legs (shins) like a dummy as the older I get the more frail I seem to be getting, clearly. So now I really have to splatter on that 50 spf so I don’t repeat yesterday and regret it the rest of my trip!
Happy 4th to all those celebrating!!

Well, Happy 4th of July from Spain! Glad you’re doing well!
