While being abroad, it's so easy to just hop on a train and go to a new city for the weekend. I was able to do just that and I had a great weekend in Bordeaux! Bordeaux is a beautiful city filled with a lot of young people, culture and wine! While I was there I had a glass of Bordeaux wine and it was definitely one of the best glasses of wine I've had in France thus far. During my weekend trip to Bordeaux with one of the girls from my program, we went to a modern art museum, rented bicycles and explored the city. Renting bicycles in Bordeaux was definitely an experience. We rented the bikes early Saturday morning and by mid-day one of the bicycles had been stolen from the place we locked it. That unfortunate event lead to phone calls to the bicycle company and eventually to a visit to the police station to file a report! Let's just say, that was an interesting dilemma! While in Bordeaux we also visited CAPC Musée d'Art Contemporain de Bordeaux, where we saw unique exhibitions. One of the featured exhibits was the history of architecture. Here you were able to see different types of building models from around the world and how they started from a simple idea to what they are today. After the museum, we went to a huge street fair in one of the plazas of Bordeaux! The fair was so lively and fun! Unfortunately, the price of each ride is between €5-8 so we only went on two rides! I would say overall, Bordeaux was a great city to visit! It is worth being there for more than a weekend since it is such a big city with many things to do!
