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.
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.
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.
Bordeaux is divided into many different areas that most wine aficionados will have heard of, but we didn’t really understand the differences between them. Our goal in visiting Bordeaux was to learn about this wine region.
Our goal for the next leg of our journey was to see the landscapes and attractions in the Dordogne River region of France, specifically Rocamadour. I had been there 30-plus years ago and I vividly remember the scenery and the views and I wanted to show Mike.
