Intl. Notebook | Jun 13 2011 |
We just returned from a trip to France where, in the southern city of Bordeaux during a long walk around town, we stumbled across a street market. The vendors had a decent selection of pulp, and the prices, we immediately noticed, were about one third those in larger European cities like Paris, Madrid, Amsterdam, et. al. So even though we were a bit hung over from a wine and bonfire party the night before and were, frankly, intent upon finding a place to soothe our ailing heads with a little hair of the dog, we adjusted our priorities and made time to dig through pretty much every box of dusty old books and magazines on hand. Later we found a nice bookstore called Quai de Livre that also had some pulp. So it seems Bordeaux has more than just wine. Who knew? Anyway, we bought a few items, but we’re pretty tired after the whirlwind trip, which means we haven’t scanned anything yet. We’ll get to that at first opportunity, and you’ll be seeing our finds in the next day or three.
