Pau-Bordeaux, Monday, April 13th

As the title suggests, today is called "lundi pache" which translates to "Easter Monday" and is celebrated as a day off here in France. We took a reluctant farewell of our Pau friends and headed to Bordeaux via the train. The one we caught was a rickety old train that reminded us of times gone by. There was a super skinny outside passage that led to enclosed little booths on one side. Once we arrived in Bordeaux we found out the town was completely closed for the holiday, even restaurants and shops. We ate lunch at a very famous fast food joint which will remain nameless, and had a meeting to discuss strategies for our district conference presentation for next week.
