Long time no powwow around Bordeaux, so let me invite you to my home in Bègles on Saturday around noon. Participants will be asked to bring a starters/entrées/dessert; for that purpose, let's put together a list. I guess we'll finish them Saturday late in the evening, or perhaps Sunday, when we can go and climb the Dune du Pyla or walk in Bordeaux with those who come from a bit farther.

Address: 26 rue de la République, 33130 Bègles. There is a fairly big parking lot about 300 meters away, on the Place du Bicentenaire.

My phone number is 06 84 59 60 45

Train station pick-up Jan 17, 2012

I can do a train station pick-up or even easier is if you walk out the front of the train station, take the tram "Direction Terres Neuves" and get off at Terres Neuves (it's the terminus and just 3 stops from the train station) and I'll pick you up there. Attila lives about 1Km from that tram stop, and so do I. Just let me know who and where.

wine & cheese Jan 19, 2012

Hello Attila and everyone,

I'll be joining you on Saturday, probably around 1ish though if it's alright.
Is it fine to bring wine and cheese? (not very exotic I know, but always nice on the palate)
Here's my mobile phone number, in case: 06 05 36 07 13.

See you soon!

Cynthia

Something tex-mex (most likely) and wine Jan 19, 2012

I'll try to make something Tex-Mex, depending on the avocados I find (or not)...otherwise a quiche.
Attila thanked me for offering to pick up, but no one has actually taken me up on the offer. So please confirm, if you want me to pick you up at the train station or tram station and the approx. time...My cellphone is: 06 72 78 50 46


 
Italian stuff Jan 20, 2012

I'll try to make a lasagna with pesto de genes, but I'm not sure I'll have the time, well, anyway, I'll bring some Italian stuff

Hi Mark,
Our three kids will be here. They are younger (8, 6, 2), but they are used to playing with others who are not exactly the same age.
Hope to see you tomorrow!

I'll take my car Jan 20, 2012

Sorry for such a short notice, I made up my mind about it a bit late. If anyone needs me to pick them up at the train station, give me a call. 0033 628 184 507. Please, do it before 11. Otherwise I might just take the tram.
