ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
As is customary, we returned from Spain to the Bay Area before we went to Scottsdale for five weeks. In this article, I’ll tell you about the interesting things we did in both places. Spoiler Alert: it involved lots of food. So this article is full of food p*rn. Enjoy.
October in Scottsdale was a big month for medical activities for me. My experience involved several surgeries, crutches, physical therapy, and a significant reduction in pain!
Following our extensive stay in Bordeaux, we planned to fly back to the Bay Area from Bilbao Spain. On the way to Bilbao, we decided to stop in San Sebastian, Spain, one of the great food cities of the world. Although we were only in town for a couple of nights, we managed to get our fill of fabulous pintxos, some of our favorite local dishes.
South of Bordeaux, there are two areas famous for their wines that we were unfamiliar with until we visited, Graves and Sauterne. Most wines produced in this region are made from white grapes, usually Chardonnay and Semillon.
Originally, we were going to combine the wine tasting in Saint-Emilion with the following information about the town in one article. However, it just seemed like too much information for one article. So this article is a bit short but there is lots of food p*rn because we had three wonderful meals in town.
