I arrived today in St Jean Pied de Port, a few trains after a long night of wine tasting in Bordeaux. I met a man who had just purchased his vineyard in February and was sampling his very first vintage of Claret.
On the train, I had an incredible conversation about life, humanism, politics and in Vitro fertilization with a retired officer of the French Cultural Corps.
Tomorrow – 27 km with 1000 m ascent.
