Fraz,
I couldn't tell by your post... but I hope you understood that I understand ENTIRELY your frustration. My point about the 4th of July in Spain was that I know that I'm the exception and I will fully understand any indignation that comes my way. I will not be forcing this holiday on anyone ... it will be a private party on the beach. Even so, I will still expect some ridicule, and rightfully so.
My point is that it is THEIR culture (Spain) and I have NO right to be angry if they don't respect mine.
So instead of being obnoxious about it... I plan to keep things simple and not "force" my holiday on anyone.

P.S. The attitude towards Americans has "softened" alot recently... we are definetely not "hated" so long as we show a measure of respect.
