The Fourth of July

An Election Birthday


      An actual ballot box, loose security, a paper ballot with two boxes to personally “X” and fold in half… certainly a new voting experience for me.

      A bittersweet birthday with only two days left in Poland.  Cheap Russian champagne, a cake with all the candles, and American-style strawberry shortcake helped to make the occasion.  Ironically, a neighborhood festival happened to set off a full fireworks display directly across from my house. So it ended up being a full 4th of July style birthday after all.
