We toured Bordeaux and the streets were alive with hundreds of people. Quite a contrast to yesterday's weather and the day was brisk, cool & clear blue skies - good for a lot of walking through the streets.
The theme has been walk a little while, stop at a cafe, drink warm liquids, eat a little something and then start all over again with that same routine.
We laughed a lot and really had a nice time in Bordeaux. David paid the additional $4 per ticket and we rode in first class on our way home on the train. What a luxury. We celebrated by eating really bad food...to counteract all the good stuff we had been eating! Why don't Californians (or Americans) have this high speed train thing figured out? It was so easy and hassle-free. So much better than flying. No security, no lines, no checking your baggage. Bring wine or food on (which we did), play cards or read a book. Charge your computer and/or phone and surf the web. It was such a nice contrast to the normal hoops you have to jump when traveling.
We took a taxi home from the train station and were home in time to call Grady. We've missed him so much. Tomorrow is our last full day in the city and I have a small list of things I want to do before we leave. I feel ambitious, but don't want to overdo it. Hopefully, I will get more than a few hours sleep tonight.
