First you have to light the coals on your brand new barbeque grill (maiden voyage).
While you wait for the coals to heat up you put up the decorations.
While you wait for the coals to heat up you hover around each other as a wind break.
While you wait for the coals to heat up you try to keep all the dust that's blowing into the other food, out of the food.
While you wait for the coals to heat up you eat the other food standing up because the wind seems just a little less fierce when standing against the wall of the apartment building.
While you wait for the coals to heat up you move the other food against the wall hoping that everything else isn't too gritty to eat.
Ahhhh. The coals look ready for cooking...but alas the wind takes all the heat away from the burgers that are supposed to be sizzling away and the burgers look half cooked (which they are).
Girlfriend, some 4th of July celebrations are better than others. This was my first in a Mongolian wind storm. What an experience! It doesn't take away from love of kin and country that we felt in our hearts. It did make my day when we came in from the windstorm and I had these photos on my computer. So I enjoyed vicariously the 4th of July being held at home. Look at all those happy faces. I love the 4th of July.
