One of my favorite Fourth of July memories was when I was in California with my daughter-in-law Elsa and her friend Ignacio. Elsa had recently come to America from Cuba. Ignacio had come from Cuba a few years before. Both were young, artists, full of adventurist spirit.
We wandered around the tourist town of Long Beach. Elsa visited a fortune teller. I bought a sequined cap with an American flag design. I don't remember if we ate hot dogs but it was a very American day.
The country was new to them, and made it fresh and new to me.
