As the founders intended

Sunday was the 4th of July. I am an American, so this date means something to me. Most of my American friends who live in Rome, are back in the States for the summer, so I thought I would have a low key evening.  Instead, an Aussie friend of mine, went with me to the Pittusburgh Steelers bar in Rome (something that exists) and had drinks to celebrate America's birthday.  When we left, we came across a drunken young man running around Piazza Navona wearing the American flag as a cape, shouting "Happy Birthday America!"   Then my friend and I watched the performers in the piazza as we ate gelato.
You know, just a typical 4th of July.
