As threatened, err, promised, here's a shitload of travel pix. For perspective, Bordeaux is on the French Atlantic coast, in the southwest of the country. We also made a trip into the world-famous wine country that surrounds the city, and we spent a few days further South in Bayonne, in the French part of Basque country and not far from the Pyrenee mountains and the Spanish border.
