September pics



This type of bread, typical in the Bordeaux region (and around that) is called un boulot, a job.


Just like the next one, these are pains fantaisie, fantasy (decorated) breads.

Three new pics


I just receiverd from Spain.
Thanks José!


All three photos show the Palais de la Bourse, the stock exchange "palace", with the Miroir d'Eau, the "water mirror" in front of it.


And the beautiful tramway in between the two...
