We delivered ground beef and veal to Bordeaux today. Brent held the farm and I did the delivery. It was a great day for a delivery. Sunshine, hot, just gorgeous. The kids are off for two weeks now. Les vacances was in the air.
Bordeaux is beautiful. Though I’ve never been in the town, it has a good vibe. This opinion derived from traffic behaviour and general beauty-ness.
They can squat and take photos on water in Bordeaux.
My first stop is moving beef in a parking lot near the city’s science building. The science building is gorgeous and hard to photograph driving a frigo van. This is across the way. Though, the Jet Heart pillars would make a fine science center annex.
After, off to the next drop near the observatory.
Have to go over this cute looking bridge to get there.
That is a very wide river.
It looks like you can buy a piece of Central Park in France. … or the spirit of Central Park.
Then to the observatory. These instruments are no longer used, but they leave a great impression on the landscape.
We managed to sneak in a veal taste test before I left, but come 5pm, I was very hungry. I hate buying pre-packaged crap, so I got all brie and baguette. It was THE best brie and baguette sandwich I ever ate. I don’t remember much between the first bite and brushing the crumbs off my lap. I also bought a pack of “smarties” … that’s M&Ms to you and me. If I return from a Bordeaux trip without a yellow pack of snarf, I get told off.
All photos are from within our new/used refrigerated van. It’s very exciting because we can be flexible and spontaneous.
The frigo is a Ford mark and as such sports the obligatory cup holder. Perfect for buck-thirdy auto expresso.
The surprise feature that Brent figured out, is the toll road slot. ” What is this slot for? ” he asks. Then it all came clear. Fits also the bidness card.

Jean does frigo van deliveries to Bordeaux.
What a cool addition to your business. It looks like a fun visit for all (except perhaps the steers being delivered!) We never made it to Bordeaux, although we certainly enjoyed the wines from there!
yes! great wine! Other than driving through the centre, I’ve not been there either :). Someday.
