le quatorze juillet

Ah, Bastille Day.

Granted, not such an important day in the US, but I still think of it fondly. Last year on July 14th, I was in Paris and had the day off from work (naturellement!) and spent the whole day at various locales with my friend Dakota. We saw Owen Wilson bicycling around the Marais (Midnight in Paris was being filmed around this time), ate mini cupcakes from Berko, imbibed glass after glass of cheap petillant and I fell into bed long before the firework displays. It was glorious.

So happy Bastille Day. Hope you have something delightfully French to look forward to.
