As July 14 rolled around it was time for our annual visit to Bastille Days in downtown Milwaukee. Since we are now living downtown we got to enjoy watching them construct our miniature Eiffel tower along with setting up all the stages and booths before the actual event. Then it was a short stroll over to Cathedral Square for a night of fun and frolicking (well we didn't actual frolic, but we did have fun). We found one singer that was playing songs from the 70's on an acoustic guitar so we spent a little over an hour reminiscing about our youth. As a side benefit of living so close to the festival was background music in our apartment for three days as the bands play late into the night. We discovered that our windows and walls mostly screen out the higher pitched sounds leaving mostly just the drumming bass to enjoy. Anyway,We did our usual stroll past all the booths selling items that you don't really need and found that we didn't really need anything - I know, amazing. We were actually searching for a crepe nutella which, alas, was not to be found. I know, French festival without crepe nutella, sacre bleu what were they thinking. Maybe next year?
