bastille day!
just a few comments about bastille day and what i witnessed:
- i managed to only go as far as across the street to the jardin du luxembourg.
- i saw a band blend jazz and polka!
- i viewed the splendid fireworks from the 7th floor terrace (and the fireworks from neighboring "boroughs").
- my students (the ones who were there) ate macdonalds in a moment of great irony.
- the students sang american patriotic songs.
- they took photos and video of the fireworks and i am sure the commentary on the video is one to put me to shame. in fact, you can probably hear me say in the background "j'ai honte" as they crack jokes or make TERRIBLE mistakes in french.... one involving hair and horses and a woman....
- i actually got to sleep by 1 as paris was not too loud thereafter.
- the fireworks were beautiful. and best part.... i could sleepily walk downstairs afterwards and toddle off to sleep.
