CDM is an historical date pertaining to a war between the Mexicans and French, but I don't think it's really celebrated by Mexicans. It's just a made up American "holiday" that gives Americans an excuse to eat Mexican food and drink Mexican beer and tequila. <BR/>I realize that Bastille Day is not "happy". But, what would you say in front of it? Have a "reflective Bastille Day"? Have a "somber Bastille Day"? <BR/>BTW...sorry about the World Cup.The Big Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399330438126032649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341696.post-1153022013537162902006-07-15T23:53:00.000-04:002006-07-15T23:53:00.000-04:00Funny how non french people relate to the 14th fo ...Funny how non french people relate to the 14th fo July.<BR/>We do not call it Bastille day and we do not wish each other 'happy bastille day either'<BR/>you guys are funny. Although I feel sorry for you that you experienced the 14th and its consequences...<BR/>Makes me laugh just say it<BR/>Joyeux 14 Juillet. if french people would hear me, they would think I am crazy, but hey I can return the compliment.<BR/>Anyway we french are weird. This date does mean something about the republic and its identity. I would not refer to a date of happiness though.<BR/>SamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341696.post-1152985992766420662006-07-15T13:53:00.000-04:002006-07-15T13:53:00.000-04:00We were thinking of Bastille day while eating brea...We were thinking of Bastille day while eating breakfast with some Frenchies in the desert of Canada. It was nice and brought back my memories of 2003 when I got to go to Paris for the event.
