So, this Independence Day, we decided to celebrate in true American style. The family we have been staying with here in Cape Town are Americans, so we had allies and enthusiasts to rally alongside.
 
We had a few South Africans over to the house to celebrate with us, and I will be showing you the proceedings of the day through photos. Enjoy.

Happy 4th to everyone out there. American or not. (You can always be an honorary citizen).
 
 
It was a beautiful day of patriotism here in South Africa! (And our inductees were very good troops).
