Le Pavillon du Chateau Raba Talence

... that had its own 4star hotel and reception area. I decided not to taste anymore wine (Feeling a little queasy) but Chris enjoyed the second wine tasting greatly. He said these wines were drier but still very good. We were running late so we hopped back on the bus for the trip back into town.

The tour was 6 hours in all (mostly driving) so by the time we got back into town we were starving! We hadn’t eaten since breakfast so we were ...

... venue was changed to France. This was a disappointment to Helen’s friends in Michigan, but an unexpected joy for Hervé’s friends in France. There is a saying in French that translates roughly as "the unhappiness of some makes for the happiness of others." So the congregation in Michigan held services in such a way that they wedding could be heard during the announcement period of services over their ...

... Baker. He was on his way back from Asia to his home in New York and had an hour’s layover in Atlanta. He wanted to know if I were in the States so we could talk on the phone and catch up on the news. It’s expensive to talk on cell phones internationally, so we deferred the pleasure of a conversation.

Tomorrow will be an exciting and busy day.

... Mr. Mrs. Bernal were there too, we had a very enjoyable evening, catching up on news, comparing notes about the recent convention we had in Normandy and planning for the future.

Au revoir!!

Not much to say here, but what a cool old city. We tasted some amazing wines and picked some to bring back. We wandered around town and drank more wine. Then it was up to the old tower to check out the view and drink my heineken on the street! Day seized.

... we visited two wineries. We were given tours and information on their wines and winemaking, and tasted some of their wines. We also got to visit Chateau Margaux - ok, the bus stopped out the front just for a look, but it was great to get a glimps.

... 8217;ll begin to feel alcohol effects.

A few spare grapes spill out of the trucks as they labour down the roads holding up impatient traffic. These make a fun game for the bicycles to see if I can aim to run over the little balls and ‘pop’ out the juice as we go along. But so many are crushed by a multitude of vehicles that the road becomes sticky with ...
