Day 32 attempt #3: where roosters crow.

My blogger app is really starting to annoy me. Not sure if I just lack memory from backing up all my photos or what. Here goes point form writing again just to see if it will go up.

- Started my day to roosters crowing. Felt like I was living on a farm. Getting on a bike didn't help with this feeling.

- Started at Chateau Pichon-Longueville. Great castle, but chateau was bought out by AXA during financial turmoil. Castle being used as office. First wine tasted excellent. Very refined. Price tag: 80+ euros.

- Went to St. Emilion. Between trains, hung out at hostel at Bordeaux to use internet.

- Visited many major ruins and monuments before the day ended. My hotel called Hotel du Palais Cardinal because next to it is ruins of Palais Cardinal. Walk from train station was 35 minutes. Great pictures of hillside from the southern town gate, so worth it?

- Had a chicken & fries dinner, wasn't great, but acceptable. Wanted to get small bottle of wine to drink at hotel, but all stores closed after dinner.
