Let The Games Begin!

“Standing inside Parc des Princes during the 2024 Summer Olympics felt like being plugged directly into the heartbeat of world football. Spain vs. Uzbekistan wasn’t just a match, it was a collision of styles, chants, and raw Olympic energy bouncing off the old Parisian stands.”

A pleasant and fulfilling visit to one of France’s great wine growing regions just an hour outside of Bordeaux in southwestern France. A Sideways movie sequel kind of day drinking good wine with nice food on a sunny Summer day.
