4th of July Celebration

You are right, it's not the 4th of July yet but we already celebrated the occasion. Tonight was the annual independence celebration at the United States Charge d'Affairs Bernard Link's house in the beautiful Prickly Bay area of the island. This event is annual and the Peace Corps volunteers are always asked to represent themselves at the event. It was initially very intimidating walking up to the house of a U.S. government official as body guards and security lined the premises. We were cordially greeted by Mr. Link and the top U.S. Embassy official in Barbados as we walked in, both who were very excited to see that 6 of us came to the event. Wonderful food (I haven't ate that well since arriving on island), nice wine, good music and a wonderful crowd of people made the event really special. Its so nice to hear top officials, both U.S. and Grenada, show such support for the grassroots work we are doing on island. They always are so appreciative and great at expressing their support. It was a great event. I will attach some pictures!
