Bastille Day ( 7.15.2007 )

Bored on a Sunday, we decided to take a walk around the Bastille day fair that was being thrown in mid-town by the French Language group fi:af. They closed off all of 60th street on the east side between Park ave. to Fifth ave. and set up all sorts of french street vendors along with some people dancing (the can-can). The food was really good, lots of crepes and french fries, and a few chocolatiers who had amazing eclairs for sale. All in all it was really not all that exciting, and it was extremely hot which made eating really sugary food all that more difficult. We decided to take off and find some nice air-conditioning.

We scoped out the Boarders bookstore where Molly would be purchasing her Harry Potter book the next week, then we got on the subway and headed up to go and see a movie. I believe it was Harry Potter. It was nice and cool in the theater, and a much needed break from the painful heat.

People waiting in line for crepes and lemonade. Did the french invent lemonade?

French Fries! They were really good.

More people, and very little room to move around on a very hot, stagnant, humid day. I was only able to take so much. The cool movie theater was calling to us.

Aaahh the movie theater. Now I look happy.
