4th of July in Morocco
I'll be in Rabat for 7 weeks, with a group of University students. I expect
us all to be deeply immersed in local culture (home stays, classes with
locals etc.). Our educational philosophy is that learning happens best when
students circulate between the comfortable known and the uncomfortable
unknown.
As a retreat from the "unknown", I'd like our group to celebrate U.S.
Independence day in some way while we are there. I'm looking for
suggestions on ways to do this. (Obviously we're not going to light
fireworks and walk the streets singing "God Bless America" - so I'm looking
for ways to do this un-offensively.)

The US embassy will be throwing a 4th of July party, and you should be able
to swing invitations as long as you're a decent schmoozer and your group is
all (or almost all) US citizens. There'll be familiar food and music and
everyone will speak English and after three hours you'll be racing for the
door.
