Happy Bastille Day people! "Parlez-vous anglais?" IF you ever go to France, learn this phrase which means, "Do you speak English?" to really make the French love Americans more than they already do. ;)
3 years ago today I was in Paris reaping the immediate benefits of the French national holiday commemorating the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fortress prison on 14 July 1789.
Benefits including free entrance into the Louvre and a great fireworks display with the Eiffel Tower lit up in the background. Meeting Parisians who were our age and friendly and having a wonderful discussion with them as they offered us paraphernalia that we politely rejected.
That's really all I got. Because I'm already bored with this post, I'm going to refer you to Kelsi's. She's got some great pics and a perfect synopsis of the events that occurred while we were in Paris. Enjoy Peoples! Eat a croissant, drink some red wine, but don't smoke a cigarette cause that's nasty.
