Bastille Day Parade

This July 14 (Bastille Day) gave us the opportunity to parade through the streets of our quiet little neighborhood in Park City. Following July 4 which is an all-American Holiday, we couldn't miss the opportunity to celebrate what's for some of us another great national holiday.

I must confess that we weren't very many to commemorate the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. I counted 5 French, 6 American, a Swiss and a “Savoyard.” Suffice to say that despite a limited number of participants the atmosphere of this event was most festive and international. Of course, parading to the rhythms of a virtual marching band always builds up an appetite.

So what could be more appropriate than to follow the march with some cool drinks followed by a nice dinner on the deck with friends and family, listening to the never-ending tunes of that imaginary marching band? The discussions were very animated and continued well into the evening. The dinner was delicious, the deserts exquisite and the liqueurs, as always, proved to be a great subject of conversation.

Now we'll have to wait over 11 months to repeat this remarkable performance!
