Fourth of July Party

Every year, US embassies all over the year hold an official Independence Day celebration.  Ours was on the 30th of June, and it was a beautiful, if chilly day.  Pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/usembassy_montevideo/sets/72157627090915636/ .  It was much, much better than last year's.  The building and grounds are the chief of mission's residence, build in 1948.  This is the home of the ambassador when there's one stationed here.  Anyway, the mug.  Coca Cola gave the embassy the mugs to give away to all the guests.  When they're cold, they're what you see above.  Put a hot liquid in them, and they turn white with the Coca Cola logo on them.  Spiffy!!  Had a great time at the party, too, then at the after party at Kaitlin's.
