After getting our condo shipshape upon our return to Mexico, we got to spend a little time getting down to the business of everyday living and having some fun: working out, massages, taking Spanish lessons, visits from friends and family, golf, and dining out. All part of Living Chapter 2, right?
Old Town Bilbao and the Guggenheim Museum
Our (almost) last stop in Europe for 2024 was in Bilbao, Spain. This might seem a little odd to you, but that is where the cheapest airfare back to the States originated from, and there is the Guggenheim Museum.
Partaking a French Country Lunch and a Little History

Interesting Wine Tasting In Saint-Emilion
During our extended stay in Bordeaux, we ventured out to taste wines in the Right Bank of this storied wine region for two days. Specifically, we wanted to visit the Saint-Emilion, Pomerol, and Fronsac appellations. We were not disappointed.
