Tweet One thing that screws everyone up, including me, is being in too much of a hurry. We all think time is money but in fact, it’s the opposite, money is time usually but time is time and you have a set amount of it to do with what you please. You can trade it [...]

Vagobond in Bordeaux

Apr 16, 2009 No Comments

Tweet 4/16/09 Okay, I’m taking the piss a little bit here, but I thought Bordeaux overall was not a very groovy place. It had a nice free museum, the Musee d’Aquitaine with lots of anthropology stuff. Yes, this is an exhibit of the past in a museum…. It had some pretty buildings. It had some [...]
