Abeille à Bordeaux

On the friday before I left for Bordeaux I went to a spanish bar ( a charismatic place which cannot play music since "racist" neibours complained about the culture.) I discovered a cherry beer i quite enjoy and plan to go back; despite a lack of music!

On the Saturday I went to a Hip hop concert in my local area! not my thing really but i met some cleeky ados and understood a lot of the word on the street. A brisk walk home from les HLMs for a lonesome fille.

On sunday the 15th I went south to Bordeaux and stayed with Grace for 3 nights. On the first night, the whole crew, (Grace, Ellie, Nicola, Emma, Bobby, Martin and Ryan) took me to an English bar in the centre of Bordeaux and we partook in a pub quiz- Maggie girls be proud. We didn't do very well but I enjoyed it all the same.
On the second day, Grace took me to les mirroirs des quais and i ate a croque madame for lunch in a small restaurant, (a croque monsieur with an egg on top!).
The halls in Bordeaux need a strong stomache; well done to those that live there, except those that are responsible for their poor state.
On tuesday we climbed the Pey Berland, Grace got all gooey over the children in town.
I loved the architecture of Bordeaux; the beautifully positioned 4/5 story balconies on buildings of amazingly irregular dimensions, to the sleek 21st century tramway and public areas. I think these two aspects work well however different they may be.
On wednesday I began my journey back to Tours. We rushed to catch the train and i was off to Angouleme to meet Gemma; I spent a lovely afternoon down memory lane as i relived what little i remembered of my exchange there.
Unfortunately I shaln't be going to Nantes for another 2 weeks so bring on the hard studying and assignment preparation.

I am writing letters in French so if you can read French let me know.
Everyone on their way to Africa, I am thinking of you.
I am looking forward to school for the 1st time in my life! much love to all
