We spent the day exploring Bordeaux till late into the evening. So many beautiful things to see. What I’ve seen so far of Europe is truly magical. It feels like a fairy tale sometimes.
We went to SO many places I can’t even describe them all. Pey-Berland tower (231 step spiral staircase - climbed it!), St Andre Cathedral, Palais Rohan, Grosse Cloche (clock and bell tower), took an open air bus tour, walked the Jardin public gardens, Porte Cailhou & Porte de Bourgogne (two old gateways - when it was walled - to the city that still stand), St Michael Cathedral & the Pont de Pierre (bridge). Then we stayed until dark and explored a lot of the city lit up. Beautiful!
Things I don’t like about France: the food, and the people haven’t been especially friendly or kind. Unfortunately stereotypes have rung true. Things I loved about France: the desserts, and the beauty of everything around me.Read more

I think US needs to take note, that they should renovate rather than tear down,....Keep the beautiful old churches and bldgs. no bueno for the food? Oh well, I know I could live on desserts, breads and pastries!!

Christie Mitchell So the mirror was definitely better during the day with the cloudy sky than the evening. But nice both times

I just love all the buildings.
Christie Mitchell We think of you every time we see “the spires”. 😃
