France Day 3: TGV, Bordeaux, St. Emilion

I found happiness in Bordeaux. It's quaint and much more "real" than Paris was for me. The TGV this morning was good but a bit less impressive than I had originally thought, but given that it's a much older high-speed rail system than most others, it was pretty great. It arrived 10 minutes ahead of schedule.

We took a small van tour to St. Emilion. It started with a visit to St. Emilion's catacombs and ended with a Bordeaux wine tasting of 6 reds, 2 whites, and 1 sweet. It was fantastic!

Today's photo shows where we and some of Peter's friends sat down at a café before heading over for dinner.

Quiche and other stuff for lunch. Salmon, foie gras, sweet peppers on bread (not all together) for dinner.
