First full day in Bordeaux

Well, Jet Lag is a real thing . . . let's start with that. We arrived last night and I am not going to tell you what time we got up this morning . . . er . . . I mean today!

We started our day with a walk around the Garonne River. It's very pretty here and that was a great way to get some exercise and see the sights. Here are a few photos:





After our 1.5 hour walk, we headed back to our apartment and then Trey met us to take us to show us where he is living with his French family. His family is so gracious and they treated us to some excellent Foi Grase and Sauterne wine. We also had some nice duck and some Cotes Du Rhone.

After cocktails we headed for dinner in downtown Bordeaux. Trey's host family is great and they took us to their favorite local restaurant (please note that I am not the only one with a beard!)



Of course, we had to have some Bordeaux wine!
