Most of my friends and relatives will not understand why I might celebrate this historic day. In today's world it is symbolic well beyond French history.
It celebrates community and striving towards happiness; it gives us hope; it allows us to share our plans for the future; it brings opportunities to relive our lively memories and to surpass them tomorrow; it makes us "sing" with patriotism and the highest of human ideals. BASTILLE DAY is felt in the heart and the stomach.
Wine, cheese, roasted lamb, conversation, renewal!
