day off in st emilion

speaking of wine,

next we went to a town outside of bordeaux called st emilion





we ran into some loud americans there;

we quickly understood why it seems the french dislike our country so.....

"we're hungry.... manche....i want some cheese"


luckily, we did not capture any photos






eating food without dairy is difficult to do in st emilion

everyone wanted to us to try their foie gras, as it is the best

after a few meals, we began to think the community had lost their sense of taste after centuries of drinking wine

therefore we attempted our first diet based on espresso & wine alone




there are thousands of underground caves in the town,

originally designed to store the wine the town makes





rachel and i got lost in one of these caves and were forced to drink all of this wine





finally, before we left, we found this great restaurant that had fresh produce!

the locals had a laugh at my "crudite"




oh yeah, and i will never complain about austin driving again


until we get to italy!
