What a day!!!! From lunch time we walked to the city center and browsed around. Almost all of the shops were closed. Most restaurants were open. We happened upon a cool little wine shop and the guy could speak enough English to explain the Bordeaux wines. Of course we bought some. We just walked around, then it started sprinkling and we found the ‘petite train’ and rode it for an hour that took us around Bordeaux and showed us many of the sites. WOW, what history there is here. After the train ride we were hungry and wanted to find a off the tourist track place to eat. Boy did we find it. It was a great small café called Le Petite Commerce. It was so fun to try and figure out what we wanted. The menu on the wall was all French and no pictures. We had the steak with a salad and mash potatoes. It was not at all like we have in the states. It had an unusual spice that we could not figure out.
Tomorrow is another day at sea, so not much will happen, just a lot of rest.

Is everything little over there? With all the short bus rides and "petite" things, I guess it will be a BIG shock when you have to come back to TX! I hope you are enjoying your travels. I am so jealous. Can't wait to see you guys, and all of your pictures...and wine :)

Do you wear a Red Raiders shirt everywhere you go?
ReplyDeleteI expect you to come back with a whole cellar of wine.
