Our first days in France

Hi all,
Bordeaux is going great so far! And yes, I know that I need to change my name and header for this blog. But at the moment we don`t have an internet connection where we are staying. Also, I am having to type on a french keyboard (yes they have differnt keyboards). So as you can see, there are several factors working against me here.
I will get straight to what you want, the photo:





The house where we are temporary staying. This house is on the observatory grounds.


Above is an image of the observatory grounds. The telescope are not used for science any more. We have seen a family of deer several times grazing near these telescopes.

In general, Bordeaux is going very well. And the French are helpful and patience with the language. We are working on finding an apartment.
