Bastille Day

Today was Bastille Day, the celebration of the beginning of the French Revolution, and it is comparable to the 4th of July in America. We were given the day to enjoy as we wished - naturally my friends and I spent a lovely morning at the beach. Next we went to our favorite cafe and then got frozen yogurt and walked around the city. In the evening the staff had prepared for us the most exciting scavenger hunt I have ever participated on! It required us to go to places all over the city to get our clues and we went everywhere from the outside of one of the many cathedrals in Vieux Nice to a quaint chocolate and sweet shop where we got to purchase a snack during the hunt. As we were roaming through the old town I discovered several new streets(as I always do when walking around there) that I will definitely be visiting again! My favorite part of Bastille Day, however, were the spectacular fireworks set off at the beach that all of Nice it seemed gathered to watch. In fact, the fireworks here might have even beat out any firework show I have ever seen on the 4th of July back in the US!

 Nice at night is an amazing sight to see!
