Bordeaux: Musee d'Aquitaine

We've had enough foie gras and truffles to last a while so the last couple of days we've had lunch at: a fish & chips place, a Thai restaurant, and an Irish pub.  All three were pretty good, actually (and not just because we are getting a little tired of French food).  The Fish & Chips place was actually called "Yes, Mum!" and they even had deep-fried Mars bars on the menu.

Since we were already in town for lunch, we decided to stop by the Musee d'Aquitaine which is a nice historical museum about Bordeaux and its surrounding area.  The city has been here in some form since before Roman times and it was neat to walk through the rooms and progress through the ages from neolithic to Roman to Middle Age up through to the Industrial Revolution.

This was a decent way to spend an afternoon.  On the way home we bought a nice bottle of sweet Sauternes wine and a block of ripe Roquefort cheese for dinner.  Maybe we haven't had enough French food after all.
