Bordeaux


Our drive to Bordeaux was long and wet.  The GPS found this very rural place with no trouble and we met our hostess, Carol deMontrechard -- an American expat who married a Frenchman in the early 70s and has run a B&B, raised several kids, and -- now a remarried widow -- continues to run the a touring and B&B business.  We're in a cottage, with a fireplace, kitchen, and living room/bedroom.  Couldn't be nicer.  It rained on and off today.  We spent the morning getting our stuff organized and talking to Carol about what to do in our time here.  Then we went off to the city of Bordeaux,  It rained most of the time, which probably soured our view of the city.  Tomorrow is supposed to be wet as well.  We're planning a trip to market day at a nieghboring town,and then will play it by ear.  I'm sitting in front of the fire writing this missive -- where we finished a great dinner that Carolyn cooked.  But now it's time for bed.
