Bordeaux, France (Part 2)

When I think of Bordeaux I think of wine, grape vines, chateaus and vineyards... And yes, we did experience ALL of those things, however, there is a whole other side of this beautiful city!

Bordeaux's city center is gorgeous and one of the most "tourist" friendly we have visited. Their tram system is well planned, their cobblestone streets are full of lively bars and bistros, their main squares are the center focal point and laid out perfectly for relaxing and people watching!

Bordeaux impressed us not only in the wine department but surprisingly in many other ways! Our drive through Pomerol and St. Emillon were extra special because we saw some familiar names. We found Chateau Haut-Surget, which is one of our favorites, it was cool to stand on their property and see the grapes that make our favorite wine!

We'd gladly come back for another visit in the future! In a few hours we are heading to our last stop of this trip (cannot believe I just wrote that)! Gasp. Sigh. Frown. Smile.

Barcelona, here we come!!
