Multinational 4th of July

What do American expats in Copenhagen do on the 4th of July? Three of them - Katie, Jason, and I - throw together a BBQ in the park. It was a gorgeous evening...we played Kubb, tossed the football, grilled, and as all good Americans do we stuffed ourselves.
Though there is no trace of graham crackers in this country, roasting marshmellows was still pretty tastey!
We even had sparklers ( they had been on a desert at a dinner I was at last week and I "freaked out" exclaiming 'you have sparklers here??!!'). The only "trouble" with the Danish summer is that it doesn't get dark until around 11pm and we were a little impatient. A great night and a job well done by the organizers!
