The entire country of France celebrates music in the streets on the solstice every year. The sun rose at 5:47 am and officially set at 9:58 pm. It's light out both before and after the official times, though. After work and dinner, I went into town with Katie and Lydie to see what was going on for the festival in Bayeaux.

| The trusty tour bus and it's lovely driver. |

| Lots of bands in the street. |
I wouldn't say that any of the groups we heard were super amazing, but all of them were solid and quite enjoyable to listen to. I'll say, though, that never in my life have I heard so many renditions of both "Hey Jude" and "Eye of the Tiger." At least one had an accordion involved.

| Katie and Lydie! These ladies are the coolest. |
 |
| There were some serious crowds. |
It took forever for us to wind our way past each group in our explorations. The crowds were thick, and no one wanted to move from their spot in front of each group.
We had buckets of fun. Also, people drink coffe in France ridiculously late at night and it gives me the caffeine jitters just watching it.
