Mum and Dad raised me to be independent ... so what did I do this Independence Day?
I went to the rain forest.
Sadly there were no speakers behind the plant life streaming Disney theme park jungle sound effects. So I provided my own monkey chatter and squwaking of brilliantly colored ...
... WHOA! was that a parrot?!!
No. It was a suicidal sparrow that flew into the side of my windshield. I watched in my rearview mirror as the limp bird was flung up into the air by the force of the hit and then spiralled into a splat on the asphalt behind.
DID YOU SEE THAT?!!
See what? asked my two fellow missionary friends.
The kamikaze bird.
What?
Two minutes later we watched in shock as another fool of a bird flew smack into the side of the RV in front of us ... spiralling to it's death as the other had.
Wide-eyed we stared at each other.
What's with the birds?!!
It's as if they got into some red-neck's 4th of July beer stash and decided to play a game of dare.
Ok ... wait for it ... wait for it ... now, fly now ... SPLAT!
oops.
Here are my pics.

I waved to all you Aussies from the beach again but it was dark and no one saw me. You were probably distracted by the miles and miles of warzone like explosions of fireworks ... what an odd American tradition/passtime.
was it when the dunes caught on fire? if it was, um, i was a bit pre-occupied.
lol
DOOM on you!

Sigh ... I can't help but think ... if i'd been there I'd be in the pic with Casey and Jiri. But alas ... yours what one of a couple of weddings i sadly am unable to attend this summer.
Marion: no, i look like my friend who looks like Geena Davis ... It helped that her name was Jeana.
;)
Man, Jeana had a gorgeous smile ... i wonder how she is ... ?
When you find someone that matches your soul ... don't let go ... especially if she looks like you.
Imagine two 6 ft girls walking down the streets of Nashville.
"Whoa, is the Women's NBA in town?"
Yep, a tourist actually made that snide remark.
Hello from Crete! my independence day was great too...i just celebrated being in Greece by drinking a Greek Frappe. I think that's the craziest, caffine-full thing i've ever had. Wow.
Awesome trees!
