la fete nationale/bastille day

joyeux le quatorze juillet!
(Just like we say "Happy 4th of July", they say "Happy 14th of July")

WOW, this post should have been up Monday, but we were so busy that day and I didn't post on my off day yesterday... So, honestly, expect two posts today. (One for this, and I may do a post on some TV I watched last night, but that might turn into a post later this week.)

Anyways, my friend Megan and I love France. We've each been to the country twice (once together, and then we each had a separate trip before that), and well, we're dying to go back. ("Dying" might be a literal term in this case. We're stir crazy for some sort of travel, and Paris is higher towards the top of our lists.) We haven't seen each other in a while - we're busy, busy, busy working adults - and I suggested we celebrate Bastille Day, since this year it fell on our off days.

[caution: raw chicken bits ahead. I've emitted the grosser bits in picture form, but descriptions are still there.]
