Quatorze juillet

While we didn't really do anything special for the 14 juillet I did convince Lionel to go see the fireworks put on by our town on Saturday night (though he absolutely refused to stay for the bal populaire). They did a pretty decent job for a smaller suburb, synchronized to music and everything:

Then on Sunday night we went into Bordeaux to see their much bigger and fancier display shot from a barge on La Garonne.

 I hope everyone else enjoyed their 14 juillet as well!
