First days




This is our temporary car. We stick out like sore thumbs!
This is a two seater so Tatiana has to sit in the trunk.

First thing we had to do was open a bank account.
It is very formal we had to dress up and look professional. I was taken by the beautiful 18th century room. I had to reach
into my purse and discretely snap this photo :) We had to do a bit of grocery shopping. Here you get a shopping cart
and take it all over the mall




Yes, this is the yogurt aisle :)


Our new busniness partner invited us over for a 4 course lunch
to meet some of the locals. Lunch started at 12:00 and ended at 5:00


I will have to get use to the super strong tiny cups of coffee

This is St Emilion the town where Tatiana will go to
school and Michael will open up an office

Having a pizza
Grape vines are everywhere, they will be harvested in October

Wine is a huge part of the daily life here. I learned that a man named Parker from the US can make or break ones year. He rates wines every year and if you get a low score
you are doomed that year, no one will buy your wine.
