July 4th in May

The official July 4th party was held on May 26th. We shifted the date to avoid the heat and wet of monsoon season. Normally the monsoons start in June. However, this year it rained nearly every day in May and we feared a bad decision had been made. Crazy weather. The Ambassador decided on a large July 4th party, with about 1100 invited guests. I think about 800 actually came to enjoy our planning and hard work. The party was a resounding success. Several Nepali guests commented that though they had been to the American July 4th party for the past 20+ years, this was the best one they had attended. That was a great compliment, especially after all of the work and frustration that went into the event. (See photos at http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=16nw59zt.67dr2met&x=1&y=1v28ag).
