I was a lil upset when I didn't get to spend the 4th of July with my family on the beach, eating hot dogs, and watching fireworks. Although I didn't get my hot dogs, I'd say spending Bastille Day in France was an experience I wouldn't trade for anything.
First of all, in all good American fashion, I overate to extremes on Thursday. We started the day off with a pique-nique at a park near the train station. I treated myself to a Nougat de Tours. So delicious.

Then after eating a ridiculous amount of food for lunch. I ate soo well with my host family. After a wonderful meal, I headed out to the Loire for some feux d'artifice! They are my absolute favorite part of 4th of July and so glad France has the same tradition we do on our Independence Day! They were by far the BEST I've seen. My mouth was wide open the entire time. I hope I never lose this childish wonder. I also hope I never forget my first Bastille Day in France. I doubt I will.
