  The 4th of July1776 is a historical day for United States of America. When US folks claimed their independence from Britain, which also initiated the birth of democracy in this part of the world. Since then each year on July 4, Americans do celebrate their freedom and independence with barbecue, picnics, and family gatherings.
  This year the same day was celebrated with great festivity. Each of us was eager to see the festivities that US folks do, nobody wanted to miss this prestigious chance. So, as in routine I got up earlier, took bath and said my prayer, later I had a glance over the schedule and got excited to know the plan for the day, subsequently all of us had our breakfast and gathered in lodge, where we were disclosed schedule in details, meanwhile the bus arrived and we set off for Lincoln, on our way we visited a terrific place of the area and that was FADDEN’S SUGAR HOUSE.
  Dears, this place is famous for making Maple Tree syrup, it became more significant when we learnt that it has been the property of same family for the last six or seven generations in the same trade.
  Sarah, Sean, Kim, Ryan, Lisa and an old fellow Rick joined us at Mr. Jim’s house, the owner of Fadden’s Sugar House.
  Visiting sugar house, it approached noon and was the time for lunch, Inn Season Resort at Lincoln, was the venue where we enjoyed pizza at, site of a stunning swimming pool. This lunch was prearranged by our adoring US host, Ms. Lisa. Kim, Sarah, Ryan, Sean & a few persons form our side helped in arrangements of organizing lunch. The site was really romantic, I was missing companionship of my wife that time, such an idealistic spot it was.
  After having our lunch, we left for “The Historical Museum Upper Pemigewasset” former, “Lincoln Union Church”, where some chronological reminiscences were conserved with immense heed.
  Here, Mr. Rick recounted us with the background of the locality and encountered the true portrait of flock lived a couple of centuries back. Furthermore he told us about the business, trade and interests of past flock. Besides, he enlightened the development phases of area.
  Worth seen things to observe were music instruments, dresses, inventory-books, old telephone sets, pictures and lot more things of great value. The wooden church building was incredible item to watch. Against the Museum’s building was the Catholic St. Joseph’s Church, Lincoln. I went inside prayed and the other visitors had snaps from different locations.
  Soon after we set our way to main road of Lincoln Town where great crowd was waiting impatiently, in shining –sun for the parade. Baby of some- months to old of nineties, were the participants of parade as well, the spectators besides the road. It was amazing to see that passion of every young and old towards their motherland, first two parade performing groups, first included army men, police officers, hoisted the flag of US and their departments of services. The second marching group was of Music Bands singing and playing the national songs, praying and wishing for the prosperity, peace & wellbeing of their country.
  The march consisted of people of every strata of life, from all the races and casts representing the true picture of their culture, with cultural dresses on, singing choirs, dancing babies and showing their expertise in their professionalism (for instant, a gang of young carpenter exhibiting their skills of making shed on back of a truck,), people from state side, political parties representatives and common flock on bicycles, cars, trucks and horses made the parade more warm when they use to shower sweets, candies and chocolates towards the kids. Some people took advantage, and publicized their organizations and shows.
  The great thing about the crowd was that the whole time they encouraged the parade contributing with their unending applause and appreciated the partakers.
  As the great show ended we rushed with our hosts to the ice cream parlor where enjoyed ice cream and moved back to the bus as having time, wanted to visit the Pemigewasset River. The Pemigewasset River was as same as we have in Swat and Abatabad in Pakistan’s Northern part, both had same flow, chillness, color of water and the stones in size and shape had great resemblance. All the presence had great fun in water most of us were in water with the folded pants, making poses for the photographs. As I was moving in chase of a nice location for photo, in water I slipped down in the water, and eventually dived to swim in same clothes. Other took it very funny and burst into laughter.
  As the evening approached we took our way down to Plymouth in the PSU transport.
  The day was really great and fantastic. This day has become one the memorable days of my life.
