Photo on Right: Guess who also came to visit Sera? Antonia and Teresa! Sera's friend, Francois (in the photo), was kind to lend us 2 mattresses so we all can get good nights of sleep. But how did we manage to move the mattresses from his place to Sera's? That's a question you must ask Sera and Syd. Actually, we are waiting to see how Sera and Francois are going to move the mattresses back to his place on the tram... And yes, Syd was the only guy who shared an apartment with 4 women.
We missed the Big Clock last time in Bordeaux so we had to pay it a visit. Sera took us to a medieval tavern near the Big Clock for some home-made meade. The meade was difficult to drink at first... I didn't like it and didn't think I would be able to finish it. But as I continued sipping the meade, it became easier and easier to drink. So either the drink gets better tasting when exposed to air or my taste buds have learned to love alcohol... any kind of alcohol.
Oh, I also tried to juggle in the tavern, but with the amount of wine and meade I had that night, well, let's just say the tavern was lucky that I didn't break anything there.

It is always wonderful spending time with good friends. We exchanged news, gossipped, laughed, joked... simply enjoyed each other's company. Living in Torino for the past year has given me the opportunity to get to know Sera a lot better since we have met up in Bordeaux, Torino, Barcelona, and Lisbon. Sera still needs to study in Bordeaux for 1.5 years to become a wine maker. I know she'll do well and wish her all the best.
Sera, looking forward to see you back in CA and perhaps our next travel destination would be Tokyo? :) Thank you so much for being our next door neighbor in Europe.
