It’s nearly 100 degrees in
Bordeaux and it’s August, so most of France is on vacation. Restaurants
are closed, the streets are empty and the only thing Bruce and I can do is sit around
our un-airconditioned apartment and sweat.
Because it’s so hot I
decided that it’s probably not the best time to be writing about heavy subjects
like the evolution of Gothic architecture. So for the next few weeks I’m going
to take a break from posts that demand a lot of concentration. Instead, I’m
just going to show you some of Bordeaux’s gorgeous architecture.
