Bordeaux France

Yesterday I left London with a lot of sites unseen so I will have to visit there again in the future.  Today I spent the first full day in Bordeaux France.  I viewed 8 of the 10 top Unesco sites listed on Bordeaux’s city map.  Their tram system is great and very easy to maneuver.  I was able to view 1 museum which was housed in three locations the Musee Arts d’ Beaux.  It had several wonder paintings and some great sculptures.  Upon leaving there I went to the St. Catherine’s Cathedral which was one of the most beautiful I have seen so far in my travel.  They are in the process of cleaning the stone on the outside very much like several buildings in Bordeaux.  The same can be said about the Notre Dame Cathedral in Bordeaux.

Last night went to a very crowded restaurant that has been in business for 50 years.  They serve one meal to everyone, your only choice is how you would like your beef cooked.  Salad, fries and tenderloin – they serve the meal with Le Cote wine.  It was great, no decisions to be made.

Bordeaux is a beautiful city, but tomorrow I am headed outside the city to go to Labouheyre, France which is where my grandparents were married on May 14, 1919.  I am hoping to discover more about my grandmother.

The weather here has been beautiful and I am looking forward to more good weather in the future.
