Yesterday, July 14 was Bastille Day in France. That is the equivalent of our July 4th celebration. The French in Aix did not seem that enthusiastic about the day. In Paris, there were some great parades with the President participating and a lot of fanfare. We watched some of it on the television. The 
pictures I took here in Aix were of the town dignitaries and members of all the military branches. They paraded just a few blocks from our apartment. In the evening there were fireworks and that was it.The last couple of days
we have been taking care of Annika while Natasha and Lawrence went to Nice to meet up with some friends. She is
really active and crawls all over the apartment finding trouble. We are barely ahead of her. She is extremely determined and 100% curious.
Natasha,
ReplyDeleteYou have a darling bundle there and I love the pink hat or chapeau!
Yvette, I think that France becomes you.

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful 'girls' you have! I know you & Jeffrey are enjoying them. Looking forward to seeing you both soon!
ReplyDeleteDarn, I just wrote a wonderfully long paragraph about your new photographic skills, and seem to have erased, rather than sent, my comment. Anyway, love your letters, both of you, and all this modern technology. Especially love the chance to see both Annika AND Natasha. Suzanne
