I've celebrated national holidays in several countries, but would have to say the July 14th celebration at the Eiffel Tower was one of the most amazing I've ever had the chance to experience. Absolutely incredible.

Proper gender use would be appropriate, then.

Ten days after July 4th, huh? I conclude that this holiday must be a celebration of when the French first heard about America's newly declared independence.

Wé're wedged into France, down at this end of Switzerland. The border is three miles to the northwest, and it sits across the lake from us. Drive 15 miles to the west of us and you hit the border again.

Driving home last night, we could hear the sound of fireworks all around us.

I'm Québécois, I don't care about the French reputation!

The French had to fight themselves in order to win a battle.

(Just a little joke fellers. When I visited France last year, I was struck with both the beauty of the Country, and the Women!)

In honor of France I play "Bastille Day" by Rush every July 14. It's a kind of personal tradition with me, being of French descent and all.

Bastille Day

There's no bread, let them eat cake
There's no end to what they'll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth
But they're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Free the dungeons of the innocent
The king will kneel, and let his kingdom rise

Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace
Naked fear on every face
See them bow their heads to die
As we would bow as they rode by

And we're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, o choirs of cacophony
The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise.

Lessons taught but never learned
All around us anger burns
Guide the future by the past
Long ago the mold was cast

For they marched up to Bastille Day
La guillotine - claimed her bloody prize
Hear the echoes of the centuries
Power isn't all that money buys

Yeah, that's definitely a "Put a flag over her face and do it for your country" kind of thing!
