Bonjour de Bordeaux!
Just a quick note to say my darling and I arrived in Bordeaux without incident. As befits the marathon, we’ve already partaken (partook?) of the local wines during the Marathon Tours initiation dinner. It looks like we have a terrific group. Tomorrow we start bright & early for more wine tasting at a local chateau, then we’ll hit the carbo-loading dinner tomorrow night.
The few days in Paris were fabulous; if I thought the scenery in Seattle was spectacular, it certainly doesn’t compare to the route we ran when we first arrived, including Notre Dame, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. We’ve also taken in most of the sights on foot, recording at least 6-7 miles per day. Stay tuned for a full report!
Au Revoir!

It’s good to know that you have arrived, and that you are enjoying the trip. Drink as much wine as you can without forgetting to run the marathon 😀 Oh, and tell your darling to be careful running with those scissors! Have a wonderful time. I can’t wait for the report & photos!
