9. 4th of July in Portugal
In Portugal, 4th of July festivities include: live music, food booths and games, fireworks
at 10.30 pm, etc.
I have already been to a 4th of July party and it looked like I was in America because of
the picnics, barbecues, and the wonderful fireworks. It was interesting because I got to
know the 4th of July holiday that Americans both celebrate and appreciate.
