Bastille day was definitely an event! After sleepin in, watched a bit of the morning parade from the comfort of my bed. I had no idea the french had that many different military groups, being a peace loving nation and all. We then walked around our neighborhood forever trying to find an open store that sold bread for our picnic. Finally got everyone together and out the door to enjoy an evening on the Champ. It was an excellent day for lazing in the sun, little too warm but thank heavens for ice cream, listening to some free concerts and finally the momentous fireworks, accompanied by opera music! Overall, very classy, and a most beautiful experience.The return home was a different story, mobs of people, I mean literally mobs. I felt very revolutionary walking around the streets of Paris with thousands of others. We finally stuffed ourselves into a metro and arrived home tired, safe and inspired to become french citizens.
oh and study because our midterm was today, blah exams.
