Happy Bastille Day Everyone!








Today is Bastille Day, a French national holiday that celebrates the French revolution. Traditionally, there are parties in every neighborhood of Paris on this day (although I am sure the coronavirus pandemic will result in significant changes this year), but the really big celebration is near the Eiffel Tower, where there is a huge fireworks display in the evening.  I took the photograph on the left of the Eiffel Tower last year, when my sister Susan and I visited Paris and Italy. And will the fireworks show go on this year as usual? Probably not.  Very few people are interested in seeing a fireworks show to die for. As Chicago Cubs fans are so used to saying, wait until next year.
