Independence Day

Tuesday Sept 21, 2010

Independence day there was no bus running so I couldn’t go to the Independence day fireworks, flag raising, or parade in PG. However, I went house to house visiting villagers and wishing them a Happy Independence Day. Many of the villagers went to the farm and worked today… which I thought was sad. They should be celebrating their 29 years of freedom. Sept 21, 2981 was when Belize received their freedom from the British.
