In Brazil, everyone celebrates Independence Day today, on September 7 — or as they say in Brazil — Sete de Setembro. In the US, today is Labor Day, which is always celebrated the first Monday in September, in honor of the labor movement.
It’s rare to have the two holidays fall on the same day, and, of course, there is only one way we celebrate holidays here – with watermelon! Whether you are celebrating Sete de Setembro, Labor Day, or just another Monday, Mara, Rana & the rest of us at GSE wish you the happiest of days!

September 7, 2020 at 4:43 pmWish you happy celebrations. Easy on the watermelons save some for later. How wonderful to see their freedom and try to forget the hardship and catastrophies many Elephants are witnessing around the world.
Stay safe and sheltered. ?
