July four in USA

This was my first celebration of the independence day in a different country than mine. In the morning, I went for shopping with my boyfriend to Lenox mall. Fortunately, there were a lot of discounts and offers in all the stores, so we had a good time because we could buy many clothes,jewels,eyeglasses and another things that we were needing. That fact was very surprising for us, because in our country, stores or malls , never do special discounts or activities in july 20, which is our independence day. After that, we were outside the mall, and in the parking there were a lot of people waiting for the show of some musicians and there were many people sending lemonade, hot dogs, beer and other kind of sweets and foods. As we have a lot of bags, we decided to go home and take a rest, but at six in the evening, we went to the Centenial park because we wanted to see the fireworks. The park was full of people when we arrived, so we had to look for a small space in the grass in a place a little far from the center. I had never had a pinic in a public park. The families close to us, had chairs, baskets of foods, small tables and everything that they needed to be comfortable. We did not have nothing for a picnic, but we bougth some pizza and sodas and we had a good picnic too. Finally the fireworks appear, it was nine thirty when the show began. We had never seen an spectacle of lights in the heaven so beautiful and so perfect. In our country, the fireworks are prohibit in order to protect the health of people, specially the children. We really had a great day, and we admire the form which American people loves their country and celebrate in a big party their independence day.
