For a mini history lesson...
Bastille Day
July 13-outside my window. I watched several towns' firework shows from my bedroom window!
The Parade on Champs-Élysées
Fly-over
They dropped some folks out of parachutes!
We camped out to wait. This is my view as I was laying below the Eiffle Tower.
The lights went out...
And then fireworks!
This was my favorite. :)
Choas trying to get home...I'm not sure I've ever been in the same place as so many people. No exaggeration.

and what are "picnis?"

Thanks for checking the spelling...
...since you probably a) didn't watch as much tv as I once did and b) probably don't have the insane ability to remember the most random details that I do, I'll point this out:
I was alluding to a great snickers commercial a while back. There is an old man painting the end zone for the "Chiefs." A big, ol' fat offensive lineman-looking guy walks up eating a snickers and says, "that's great! but who are the Chefs?" At which time we get our first glance at the entire endzone. The painter left of the "i."
After the "not going anywhere for a while? grab a snickers," the commercial ends with the old man saying "great googly moogly!"
("left off," not "left of")
you guys should chat on skype more often...
miss you mindy! so jealous of the fireworks, i need to be invited to another wedding to get my fireworks fix here in the turkey! okay, we should talk soon. we are going home very soon!!!!!
