Bordeaux






Traveled to Bordeaux on Sunday. Enjoyed seafood and sausage kebobs at the riverfront market. We didn't venture outside the city center on this visit, so we will have to make another trip to see the renowned wineries.






The gothic Cathedrale Saint-Andre was consecrated in 1096!













The retail stores have month long sales in France. July and January are the designated months for "soldes". This is a popular shopping street in Bordeaux.







This railway serves as their efficient public transit system. I risked my life for this picture.







The next post will be an update on Kevin's rugby training. I'll try to get some pictures of their practices and conditioning sessions this week... as long as they don't ask me to join in.

  1. You guys are really rubbing it in! We are suffering from Europe withdrawal. Sure can't wait to get over there to see you. You are definitely making good use of your time between practices and conditioning sessions. We're really enjoying every blog from the South of France!!! Gordy and Anita
