Wicked Pace

Hello all,
Sorry for the delay. This trip has been moving. Due to BA we missed our train to Bordeaux. So we had to spend 7 extra hrs on a train and we got little sleep. Due to the rugby world cup, there where no hotels in Paris. Once we made it to Bordeaux, my famly went to town on spreading the love and showing us around. We ve had some really good vin (wine). On Sat we had a huge family lunch, in a small town where my grandpa is from. We ate at a family owned place which serves all of its food from their farm. Ive gotten to see alot of my familys history which has been awesome. Bordeaux, we highly recommend. The weather, a touch cooler than Norcal, but is not as dry and feels warmer, especially at night.

We are now in Paris. We ditched our shoe box apartment. The lady forgot to mention we could not flush tolitet paper. Best western down the street, here we come. We walked the Champs to the tower. We were told to try the bus boat, which we have enjoyed very much.

Some thoughts:
France has open the welcome mat for the rugby world cup.
the TVG rocks
parenthood is universal.
The french are demanding consumers so a lot of their products are better.
Nutella in France is better than the US and Canada.
Canada is up tight about both English and French.
They speak more english than before.
French Rugby is not a fluke. For every two soccer fields there is 1 rugby field. They are gonna be around for a bit.
