Here is a picture of the cheese beer. I went to a 4th of July party that was also a re-Americanization of a girl who spent the last year studying abroad. Hence the slice of American cheese stuck to my beer, (which was accidental, I dropped it but it stuck there which was super great.) Eventually I made a face in the cheese, but didn't get a good pic.

Anyway. The 4th of July in Brooklyn is an amazing thing. Everyone migrates upwards towards their roofs, barbeques up there, and then watches millions of dollars explode in the form of fireworks. It makes for a great holiday cause you can hear everyone clapping and cheering across Brooklyn. We had fireworks in the shape of smiley faces, some 3D cubes, and some fireworks that were wiggly lines that hung almost stationary in the air for about a minute.
