Independence day is here and once again I’m off the continent. For the last three years it’s been this way but I guess I shouldn’t complain.

Joshua and I spent the day searching lower Dharamsala for various bits of Americana and after a long arduous search managed to find American flag bandannas, fireworks and a big bottle of Pioneer brand whiskey. Woo hoo!

The evening will be spent sending sparks into the sky and consuming lots of booze. Hell yeah ‘Merica.

Here’s a photo series of Joshua and I ritually sacrificing a 150 rupee ($3) can of Budweiser to start the day off right. Hope everyone’s Fourth is joyous…
