Arrive in Bordeaux

It was a bit of a tiring day today. Another gloomy start to the day in Pau, but we had plenty of time to get on the train to head to our next stop, Bordeaux. The train ride was fairly insignificant but pretty crowded, I guess because the final destination was Paris. Luckily, we were early enough on that we could place our luggage in the rack, unlike many who got on later. Lots of tree farms along this route that I figure were for lumber, as they were mostly pine trees. While the skies didn't clear any once we arrived in the city, it at least wasn't raining. We caught the tram to the closest stop by our apartment and made the trek. Our building, modern on the outside and pretty nondescript, is very nice on the inside. The large balcony is really nice. Enjoyed dinner outside at a lively bistro in the shadow one of the large churches. Indulged in their meat and cheese platter and sampled the local wine.Read more
