Independence Day is listed as a public holiday in United States.
A day for workshops, repairs, craft tables, garages, sheds, studios, and the satisfaction of making something work.
The neighborhood is already loud at nine because somebody started early and nobody minds tonight. You bought the good sparklers and the cheap ones because this calls for both. Tomorrow the country turns 250 and tonight is the rehearsal.
A day to question authority. In America, this is the founding principle. The country was founded on disobedience. The Boston Tea Party was disobedience. The Declaration of Independence was disobedience. The civil rights movement was disobedience. Disobedience is not the opposite of patriotism. Sometimes it is the highest form of it.
You encounter the pampas where guanacos, rheas, and jaguars roam across Argentina's vast landscapes. You find that Argentine households most commonly keep dogs, cats, and guinea pigs as cherished pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You celebrate Pepsi Cola and Tata, iconic soft drinks that Uruguayans have consumed for generations as daily refreshments. You recognize these brands as central to Uruguayan social gatherings and childhood memories, where sharing a cold drink remains a cherished ritual in this nation's cafe culture.
A day for mending the little thing before it becomes the expensive thing.
