See you all soon! <br><br>Au revoir!!<br>

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. <br>

We spent our first day in Bordeaux relaxing and wandering around the city. Ate a few baguettes. <br><br>The next day we caught a train to St Emilion to check out the beautiful little village.<br><br>On our last day we did a wine tour of Medoc ...

Vines, vines, everywhere are vines. <br>Blockin&#8217; up the scenery, breakin&#8217; my mind.<br>Rouge vin, blanch, ro-se<br>Can you taste the wi-ine?<br><br>Spent about 3 days cycling through Bordeaux&#8217;s beautiful wine-country. <br><br>Pulling away from the mouth of the Girone river we entered wine country with a vengeance.

... tempted to stay home! If I'm completely honest, the first half of my stay in France was very trying. More trying than I expected and I was tired in more ways than one when I went home last December.  But I did in fact return and I am glad that I did. Montpellier was quiet and cold when I arrived. The winter here in southern France isn't quite as warm as one would expect. Most of my friends from school had already left France to return to their native countries. So it was ...

... rock - a real living city!!) now they have bacteria that they put in the rock that cleans the rock. You can definitely feel the Spanish spirit here - they ahve lter eating hours, tapas bars dot the city, etc. I've definitely found that each French city that I've been has had its own ambience and characteristic, and I love it :) Met with my new friends briefly after their classes, but I lost them again because I had to figure out some flight logistics for ...

... ben oui, un autre), on se rend à une boutique dont la spécialité est la bière et les chocolats belges. Quand on arrive, le gars qui tient la place est en train de se faire donner un ticket parce que son auto est mal stationnée, juste en avant de sa boutique.
