Our Bordeaux Experience

The point of departure for this current trip to France, Bordeaux was a seminal experience. Thanks especially to the inquisitive lens of our host and good friend Jean-Marie Fourcheraud, it has yielded the richest recollection of the time we spent there, from October 21 til November 14, with a quick return on December 14-15. The pictures you will see at http://picasaweb.google.com/rpwildau/BordeauxHighlights02# recap the beauties of the city, our involvement with the Alliance Francaise, our visits to the seat of the Fourcheraud family in the Cognac region to the north, and to the Arcachon basin to the south of Bordeaux. Most importantly it depicts the wonderful times we had with the Fourcheraud extended family and the friends which they consistently brought into their circle. Enjoy with us!
