Powwow: Bordeaux - France | A great powwow

Post title: A great powwow

One of the great advantages of our profession is its internationality, hence 'bring a dish' type powwows are great occasions to taste diverse things. Francis and Noriko brought some marvelous sushi and maki, Leslie a very tasty guacamole and a magnificent quiche, Phoebe some superb poundcake, Will a gigantic portion of delicious charcuterie, Delphine and Michel a brilliant apple tart, Cynthia a big plate of yummy cheese, Marion a rocking potato salad, Francois a lovely roquefort and nut tart, Laura a fabulous pesto lasagne, and Fred and Pauline some fantastic biscuits. For the next powwow, where three times more people show up with equally breathtaking dishes, I will have to buy the unabridged Oxford English Dictionary to find all the appropriate adjectives. And of course there was some good wine - which is quite inevitable around Bordeaux.

This powwow was not just international but also inter-hemispherical, with Will traveling all the way from his native New Zealand. Other long-distance travelers were Laura and Phoebe, coming from Paris.

It was also a first in-person gathering of the [url= [url removed] ]Solidarités team[/url], with a special guest from [url= [url removed] ]Solidarités International[/url], Laura, who coordinated the Paris-based NGO's translation requests for our team during the past months. Laura held a very interesting 40-miute presentation about the NGO's work as well as our collaboration. There was another, unexpected presentation, when Marion found a piano somewhere, and played it beautifully, to our great delight.

Sorry for such a short notice, I made up my mind about it a bit late. If anyone needs me to pick them up at the train station, give me a call. 0033 628 184 507. Please, do it before 11. Otherwise I might just take the tram.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

Hello Attila and everyone,

I'll be joining you on Saturday, probably around 1ish though if it's alright.
Is it fine to bring wine and cheese? (not very exotic I know, but always nice on the palate)
Here's my mobile phone number, in case: 06 05 36 07 13.

See you soon!

Post title: Train station pick-up

I can do a train station pick-up or even easier is if you walk out the front of the train station, take the tram "Direction Terres Neuves" and get off at Terres Neuves (it's the terminus and just 3 stops from the train station) and I'll pick you up there. Attila lives about 1Km from that tram stop, and so do I. Just let me know who and where.
