Pictures of the day [July 18]

[Mrs_Mia_Wallace]

Hey everybody,

I know, I'm a few days late with those pictures but I wanted to show them anyway because I found them very pretty. I was in France that day (only close to the Swiss border to stay with a friend) and I absolutely forgot what date it was so I was wondering why the video store was closed...finally we found one of those DVD machines where of course all the decent movies were already taken so we ended up with "Hollywood Homicide". Meh, it was kind of funny.

But now to the pictures:

July 14 is the French National Celebration Day. It reminds of the attack on the Bastille 1789, which is considered the start of the French Revolution. For this reason, nine British jets flew over the Champs Elysées and spayed the colors of the French Flag into the sky. The British were invited to also remind of the 100th anniversary of the "Entente cordiale", a French-British contract about the Northafrican colonies, that became an alliance against Germany 10 years later.


Fireworks illuminate the sky at the Eiffel Tower in Paris during Bastille Day celebration later that night.
