Thursday 11. 08. 16 Just back from a week chez Marie-Pierre and Olivier. Went by train but came back by car which they have lent to me. Had a great time – good food, good wine, good conversation. Celebrated my birthday on the weekend, had a picnic besides a lake and went into Bordeaux a couple of times. Saw an interesting expo of prints and an intriguing video called Ellis narrated by Robert De Nero in a gallery in an old submarine base. The photo above is of a repurposed army barracks.
