Day 99: July 4th Israeli Style

Well, it looks like you don't need to be in the United States to participate in a huge July 4th celebration.  Tel Aviv, Dan Shapiro, the U.S. Ambassador in Israel, is throwing a party for a few thousand of his closest friends.  The July 4th extravaganza looks totally awesome and promises to have enough food, drink, and music, for everyone to celebrate in style. 

The Independence Day bash is being held tonight (July 3rd) at 7:00 pm and is going to be streamed live on the internet.  This party is an "invitation only" event, which kind of makes you wonder who you have to be to get on the guest list?  I do know that both the Israeli President and Prime Minister will not only be in attendance, but are both scheduled to give speeches.

Musical entertainment throughout the evening will be provided by an ensemble from the Israeli Conservatory of Music and a U.S. Military Band.  The evening will conclude with a fireworks display above the cliffs of the Mediterranean!
