getting to italy

day off in st emilion
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!
