Red, white & blue. Golf Cart Parade. Lots of food. Laughter and smiles. It was a nice evening.

We were supposed to have fireworks at night, but thunder, lighting and rain cancelled our plans. Sarah & I ended up on her couch, eating cheese balls and watching Bridget Jones Diary. I was really sad, because I have a friend here -had a friend here- and he is gone now. I miss him already. I don't know how to explain it. He was here all week and I kind of took it for granted. I saw him, but not that much. And now I probably won't see him for a year or years even, because it's my last summer here. Sometimes, I wish the world was smaller or that you could teleport yourself. There are so many great people I miss. So many people I wish I had close to me. Like Ben & Sarah in Florida, Chanica in Amsterdam, they are so far away... I get to see them once a year, and that's not enough....

Today's just a cold, sad, rainy day.
