We went to a 4th of July party at the US Embassy, which I thought was an exclusive party for US citizens. That was definitely not the case, as friends from all over the place managed to get themselves in the door too. And it was better that way.
The party was held on the baseball field of the embassy. Yes, they have a baseball field. There were moon bounces and thoughts of summertime games for kids, including a pie eating contest and a tug of war. There was lot of alcohol and tons of food stalls. My eyes lit up when I saw the assortment of "American" food: fried chicken, corn dogs, pork bbq, apple pie. It was almost like being at home for the 4th, except it was the 5th of July and we were in India.
The highlight of the night for sure was the dance-off between two 10 year old girls and a few of my much older expat friends. Despite valiant attempts from Rory and Armen, the girls certainly won.
