Some memoirs - from USA

My US visit had several interesing notes. First I set foot on American soil on 4 th July, their Independence Day. Then I spent a long weekend there, something that is a rarity in India. The occassion was Labor day. Americans celebrate labor day on the first Monday of the month of September. Labor day also marks the end of summer and in older times schools and colleges used to re open after the long weekend. Most of them still follow the tradition. Apart from that I had the opprotunity to visit am American University - The SUNY at Albany. One of my first cousin's works there and so I had to be there!! Work in the US was fun with lots of time at hand to complete my tasks, so no late nights and no work on weekends.
