A Colorful Salute Above Paris!

Well, what a surprise this was! My wife Alex and I were in Paris on July 11, walking past The Louvre museum, when we saw this wildly colorful display above us – followed moments later by these jets!

We watched this and tried to figure out why it was happening – because Bastille Day was approaching?

Alex focused on the air above the massive Ferris Wheel in the Tuileries, while I tried to spot them farther away over the famous Champs-Elysee – because they appeared without warning above us!

Take a look at the video we captured of the display! Oh and before you click it:

Note that about a minute in, two small planes approach and one flips over above the giant ferris wheel in the Tuileries!

Well, that was unexpected! We heard many people say it was indeed a preview of Bastille Day celebrations to come, and it was just one of the wild things we saw on this trip to Paris!

Yes, this giant statue of the visionary Japanese Artist Yayoi Kusama was wild indeed – click here for more pictures and video as well!

Paris is one of our favorite cities – and since my wife Alex is an acknowledged “lover of potatoes”, we spent one day tasting a wide variety of potatoes from a wide variety of restaurants in Paris!
