2 Days in Bordeaux
Bordeaux is a beautiful and quaint French city, in the middle of France’s famed wine region. The city itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and you get the sense they’ve spent a great deal of effort renovating these buildings.

In this post, I’ll give you some ideas for what to do if you have 2-3 days to explore Bordeaux.

Burning Man 2018: iRobot

I’ve been planning an airbnb twin room with a rustic desert vibe. Wood with brass accents, and some interesting patterns to add a splash of color. Finally, some splashes of white to modernize it.
