4th of July 2012, the 236th Independence Anniversary of the United States.








The morning was kicked off with putting some American flags in the garden, and then seeing Anders and some of the Swedish delegates off, for the 5 kilometer FUN RUN (???). Not long after wards  (27 minutes) I could get a picture of him coming in again!




 Allan, Anders and Per represented this FUN RUN the Swedish NNSC!

Later that morning we went to the flower market at Namdaemun to buy yellow roses and a blue vase for my friend Youree, who became an American citizen on this particular day. This fact was celebrated with a BBQ at their home.


But before the BBQ we went to a 4th of July reception hosted by RADM McQuilkin and his wife Selina, in roaring 20's outfits  J.

Some found really great outfits in their wardrobe or....




It was nice to see some familiar faces of people that haven’t left the peninsula yet.




After the BBQ and beautiful fireworks it was time to go home for a drink together and some reflection.


Not so roaring 20s outfit but a nice moment of reflection of a wonderful day.
