bastille day – was great..
The planes doing a flyby of the champs elysees were deafening!
its was cool to see the army marching, tanks, planes etc. but when one thinks about what they are used for, then one doesn’t think they are so cool anymore. Later that day we met up with Zwi and daughter Diana to watched the fireworks show over the Eiffel Tower.
We did a day trip to Versaille; what an amazing house and gardens. The amount of wealth in the house is unbelievable, the place has been kept to reflect the period and thus not much has changed since the French revolution when a certain Marie Antoinette said “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”. La brioche doesn’t exactly look like cake..
We also saw Superman Returns this weekend. I look forward to the MGBs review. There isn’t much dialog and the movie plays for 2h34m but I have to say.. I quite liked it.
