The fourth of July is one of Lenny's favorite holidays.... other than Bay to Breakers. :) Last year we were still in San Francisco for the 4th and were able to watch some fireworks through the fog and rain. This year we had a wonderful day celebrating our country's independence by resting in a park.... staring at the British Parliament Building!! How ironic is that?!
This Saturday we had some rain around 11, but by 1 it was another beautiful day. We got Chula, popped on the train to Waterloo and walked around the Thames waterfront. There were so many tour

In addition to Independence Day.... it was also Gay Pride. We stopped by Trafalgar Square to see some of the amazing costumes and the main stage. After the festival, we stumbled upon a little cafe tucked into Embankment Park. We had dinner at an outdoor table under a canopy of trees. I felt like we were in a movie! What a day! Maybe not a typical Independence Day.... but fun none the less.
It's hard to belief that the British don't have a pull-out-the-stops 4th of July celebration. What a missed opportunity!
