14 JUILLET IS the big national holiday in France but tonight was when it was celebrated in our town. The local villages in many parts of France stagger their fireworks celebrations so as not to compete with each other. And in the region where we are now almost no villages shoots-off fireworks on te 14th of July because no one wants to (or can) compete with the brilliant show in Carcassonne.
So tonight was the night in Puivert. The lake was packed for the Wednesday night market and at about 10:30 the show began. I think it was Henry's first fireworks show and he thought it was fantastic. Of course, so did all the adults -- there's something about watching fireworks that makes even adults look and act like little kids (oooooohhhh! aaaaaahhhh!). Maybe that's what makes them so fun.
