SATC was closed so no flying activities; that means it was just crowded at the pool all day long.
As we've seen the pool already for many times by now we planned to go to Tempe in the evening for some real local celebrations of the international holiday.
Tempe is an old city close to Mesa with a lot of univerity students where there is a nice atmosphere to hang around with some friends.
Apparently it's very known for it's fireworks (and they have good reasons for believing that : It lasted uninterruptly for about 40 min)!
Of course this caused a lot of problems when we had to leave our parking spot because people came from everywhere (with their car, offcourse!) to see the spectacle.
In stead of waiting between all the traffic jams with some (crazy) American drivers we waited on our van. And I can insure you: American drivers are not used to see it: funny faces all over the place!

ReplyDeleteGe hebt het daar precies goed naar uw zin! Echt hé, die hun vuurwerk met 4th of July is enorm, was me ook opgevallen zo'n twee jaar geleden.
Geniet goed van uw tijd daar, af en toe vliegen en vaak aan't zwembad liggen is zo'n zes maand samengevat :P
