Francois Hollande / Bastille

I still get my groceries at Bastille, despite it being crowded and touisty. After last week, I will think about the space of that plaza very differently. We wandered into this crowd without quite knowing what was happening, but we found out real quick. We were just looking to get onto the metro (this was unsuccessful); there were people everywhere cheering and dancing, live music playing, food trucks everywhere, and eventually the new president taking the stage. Hollande (Socialist) had just beat Sarkozy (Conservative) by 52%. Was quite cool to see.
