Des Ponts pas des Murs (Gretchen Edition)

The rally started at the Bastille. Dylan is excited about the drum troop that is playing nearby.
We got behind the drum troop so Dylan could see them and then they started marching, so we stayed behind them for a while.

This was after I explained the purpose of the rally to Chloe an she asked me if they (the government) was going to send us back to the US. She is a concerned immigrant.
















Chloe thought she should have some candy in her bowl.






We ended up at Republique where they were putting on a free concert. However, we did not stay for the concert because we needed to buy some books and groceries.
