In my busyness -- and the MLB Home Run Derby, I still can't believe Justin Morneau won after Josh Hamilton's 28 homers in the first round alone -- I completely forgot that today is Bastille Day, France's equivalent of the 4th of July.
This would have been my third year spending the holiday in France, however I jammed out of the country early. And strangely enough, when I was studying abroad in 2005 we opted to go to Florence, Italy instead of spending the weekend in Paris. An opportunity I guess that was too good to pass up.
And in other French news the Tour is still going pretty strong right now I guess, nearly halfway into the race. Though I couldn't tell you who's the yellow jersey wearer right now. I guess no one here really cares with Landis and Lance Armstrong out for Team USA. Speaking of Team USA, the Olympics are right around the corner and I soooo cannot wait to watch those. The swimming and running trials in California and Oregon got me all pumped up for what's to come. Where the heck is this year going?! I still can't believe I'm working on my third week living in Stockon and working for Pacific.
So now that my little -- or big, depending on how you look at it -- tangent is over, Happy Bastille Day, France.

A lover of America's favorite pastime and a Francophile. You are quite the conundrum.
That's like if Bud Light stopped being American. Oh wait, holy crap:

It's not beer Nick, it's a Freedom Beverage!
NO, I have no idea what is happening with the All Stars. No internet. No baseball on TV. It's like living in a cave!!!! At least you get to enjoy the baseball season.
