Hello, all! Maggie again. So, yesterday was Bastille Day! Where better to celebrate than Paris?
First, we went to Champs Elysees, where the entire street was decorated with French flags. L'Arc de Triomphe had a huge French flag displayed in the middle of it.
Then, later that night, we went to the Eiffel Tower to celebrate its 120th birthday with a fireworks and lights show! It was 45 minutes, and it was fantastic! Fireworks shooting out of the Eiffel Tower, the Eiffel Tower on fire, and images being projected on it. It was a great show. Vive la France!
When I visited Paris in the spring of 1976, Le Champs Elysees was festooned with American bicentenial decorations. Guess all Europeans follow the American lead on all things cultural. That's satire, by the way. I'm sure if you figure out where the McDonald's is located, life can be tolerable on the Seine.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Dad. I've seen more McDonald's here than in Philadelphia.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's an experience to remember.
