The 4th of July could not have come at a better time this year! After three intensive weeks of Arabic, we finally got a four day week, thanks to the 4th of July. I celebrated by going to a barbecue with friends and enjoying beautiful fireworks over the Bay.
There are forest fires close by, specifically in Big Sur, and I see the smoke rising in the sky everyday, but I'm not too concerned because nobody in Monterey is, so if the locals aren't concerned, why should I be?
