While exploring Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland we came across an interesting sign. Not one for a truly Swiss experience like an alphorn concert or cheese making class, but one dedicated to the world of movies.
It simply said “Bond World 007 – Grand Public Opening June 29th.” We looked at our watches and realized that it was, in fact, June 29th.
One glance at each other and we knew, fate was calling.
It is not often that our college education and travel meet on common ground, but when they do there is always an interesting outcome. You see, Angie and I are nerds. Engineers to be precise. We're big fans of science, raw data, and craving the unattainable at the same time. We travel to find the unknown and use our engineering skill sets when we plan, often a bit too much.
But sometimes our travels bring us back to science, and our recent visit to CERN in Geneva, Switzerland did just that. As soon as we learned of the free tours offered at the research facility, we knew it would be the top spot for us to visit in the city and we reserved our spot.
When you think of Bordeaux, you may think of a city that is overflowing with wine. A place where you can walk down any street corner, find a vineyard's storefront, and have a chance to try as many different varieties as you would like.
We did.
It is a common thought for such a famous wine city to boast its creations everywhere you see. In many cases this is true. But if you're visiting Bordeaux, do not expect that. To truly understand the region's love of wine you need to get out of the city.
If you don't, you won't be seeing much of anything.
In our last trip to France, we really went hard eating in Paris. In just a few short days we visited 12 restaurants, bakeries, crepe shops, and coffee houses, and today we wanted to share them with you.
