Thus, we have the kids all piled onto my seat after I'd gotten up and
the Dutch folks still talking.

Morgan, in Place Darcy, near the Dijon train station.

The fountain in Place D'arcy.

Morgan, taking a picture of some French tourists. This was the first
point when I realized that Morgan can really speak French pretty well.

Some gargoyles above a building in Dijon.

Morgan touching the good-luck owl on the side of one of the churches.

Undoubtably a Bastille-day display, this jet was open for display in downtown.

This is a shot of people down by the waterfront at lac Kir, where the
fireworks were held.

And this is a picture of the view we had once we climbed the hill
next to the lake. In the process of going up you have to cross under
the railroad tracks that head toward Lyon (or at least to the
west). This was an awesome place to view the fireworks.

This is Morgan, blurry. A film camera would have taken this picture
much better, but I kind of like the blurry effect.

A view from the top of the hill.

TOP NUT'S! Imitation Nutella. Nothing but the best for us.

Morgan, with the sky at dusk.

The group bundled up against the brisk wind and cold night air. It
wasn't raining anymore, but the temperature had dropped a little.

You probably want to check out the fireworks page, if you haven't already.

Morgan and Christine, in the same place.

An old theater in Dijon.

Dijon's small version of the Arc de Triomphe. The area below it is
popular with skateboarders and trials bikers in the evenings.

McDonald's, where I stopped for a 10 minute snack before catching the
train. Notice that they think that 0.8L of coke is huge. I guess
without ice it is a fair amount of sugar, but nothing compared to the
real thing at any 7-11 in the states. ;)

McDonald's likes to make fun of Americans and the like to try to avert
some of the protests and bad press they get in Europe. I don't eat
there that often in the US, but I will now be eating there even less,
as I find the "fat American" advertisements they run extremely
offensive. This is just one of their posters that says "Born in the
USA. Made in France" at the bottom.

Dijon has cool little weather stations around downtown with
temperature (16 C) and other nice weather indicators. I have no idea
why they're there, but it's kind of neat.

This bear reminds me of the computer-generated polar bear Coca Cola
used to advertise with. Found in Place D'arcy.
