Road Trip through the Bordeaux Wine Region – Saint Emilion, France 27 May 2012
On 27 May, Jeremy and I met in Paris, flying into Charles de Gaul to begin our two week European Vacation. We rented a little car so small it would hardly hold our three suitcases, and we zipped down the road toward Bordeaux.
Our first stop was a little town in the French countryside called Saint Emilion. My friend Joy introduced me to this area so it was my second visit, but a first for Jeremy. We toured through the small cobblestone streets of the village, and made our way to fantastic overlooks to view rooftops and the vineyards beyond. 
After enjoying some raw oysters for dinner we bought a couple bottles of red wine from the region, and retired to our hotel suite just outside the town in a grand chateau. The view from our balcony boasted vineyards as far as the eye could see. Arcachon is next on the itinerary, so more posts to come as I can get them typed!

I love the picture of you and Jeremy in front of the rose vine. What an awesome time your having.
Jennifer, we really did have such a wonderful time. Traveling the world is a lot of fun, and the sights are amazing, but we can’t wait to finish our tours and come home for a while. I am just looking forward to being with my family again after being gone so long. I miss you all so much!
