We wanted to do one more family adventure, so on Friday we took the train to Bordeaux. It was a gorgeous September day. It must have hit 27 or 28 degrees in the late afternoon. We wandered around the centre of town, had Middle Eastern take-away, enjoyed the public gardens, had drinks in a central cafe on the "place" and wandered around some more. All in all a lovely city. The architecture along the river is beautiful (though UNESCO designations are being handed out left, right and centre it seems).
The public transit system is focused on the Bombardier electric trams. All very stream-lined and "whooshy". They also have tiny buses (perhaps 8 seats, 12 passengers) that dart about.
I love the shot of Sophie (on her first swing - poor girl, already 10 months...); it's as if she is saying "It's a long way down, dad" - though she was gleeful throughout the experience. She also had her 1st train ride that day.
Mike ended the day on a happy note: by tasting and buying some wine! I got an early birthday present of a mosaic ring.
