Happy Independence Day to all of my U.S. Friends! We actually got the day off today because the Venezuelan government decided to give everyone an extra day off this week because tomorrow is the Venezuelan Independence Day. I know many of us pause to remember the sacrafices people have made for our freedom, which is very right to do. However, since I am celebrating this 4th of July outside of the U.S.A., I thought I would offer you a look at things that I enjoy about the U.S. that perhaps you may never have thought of:
Peanut butter-good, cheap, and sold in large quantities
Buying in bulk- not until you have to buy food three times a week for 30 people do you fully appreciate the bulk food aisle.
Wireless internet
Milk that is always, always sold cold
Long summer nights where the sun doesn't set until after 8:00 pm
Free refills
Dollar menus
Drinking water from the tap
Reliable power and water
Even sidewalks without gaping holes
Resturants that actually stock the items on their menus
Clean air
Cars
Being able to walk outside at night without being mugged
Absence of car alarms
100% Juice
Veggies and fruit
Punctuality
Food that does not come deep fried
Large trash cans
Large garbage bags that fit the trash cans
Regular pick up of garbage
Hope you're enjoying all that the grand ol' US of A has to offer!
