Webcams and trains and wine

Today was our last full day in France (and, Bordeaux). We leave tomorrow, mid-morning, and will miss it here. This was a very slow day for us - we didn't do too much. We did meet the guy (David Lescher) who has the webcam that you see in the right-hand column of these web pages. He was very charming and seemed pleased that we had found his webcam so useful during our planning (checking the weather and what people were wearing, etc.). We also "road the rails" some more, visiting every stop on the amazing Bordeaux tram system.

Dinner tonight was at A. Thibeaud and was very good. We enjoyed our final (for this visit) bottle of good French wine (see photograph below) with our meal - red mullet and salmon for Susan; pork tenderloin for Steve.
