Bastille Day!

Bastille Day is July 14th and is the French 4th of July, when they rebelled against the Royalty and overthrew the King and Queen. We met some friends in the Champ de Mars, the park in front of the Eiffel Tower and had a giant picnic. Around 10:30 pm the fireworks started along with an amazing light show. It was the 120th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower and there were huge projectors on the Eiffel Tower with computer generated images giving the history all through the years with the Eiffel Tower as the backdrop. It was the most incredible fireworks show I have ever seen.
