Yes, such an alien idea to me having fish and chips there …

When in Bordeaux, do as the Bordelais ;-)

Nice series anyways :-)

Bordeaux has an excellent and inexpensive public transport system, making it easy to get around. I first went to the contemporary art museum—those of you who follow my postings will know that this is usually on my itinerary when visiting a city. The museum is housed in an old warehouse and makes great use of the space. Here part of an exhibition by Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa, a Guatemalan artist based in Berlin:
