We left Pam, Mike, and Betsy at the French Panthéon (a burial place for national heroes like Voltaire, Rousseau, Victor Hugo, etc.) to head toward Trocadéro for the celebration of Bastille Day. Aside from the military parades that we briefly saw, the area was closed, so we had to follow the masses to walk closer to the Eiffel Tower to see the spectacular fireworks show. After miles of walking with the supersaturated crowd and Sarah’s altercation with the French police, we finally found a grassy spot and covered it with a blanket. After minutes of rest and relaxation, the French authorities had everyone in the vicinity move to a different location. This pattern continued for quite some time throughout the evening. The night ended up in a frenzied, garble state with unwanted headaches and drained emotions. 😭
