On December 13th Kevin arrived in Bordeaux. I had been anxiously awaiting his arrival and wanted to run and hug him as soon as he entered baggage claim at the airport but unfortunately, I was unable. For some reason (okay, it's a good security reason) the Bordeaux airport decided to put a giant glass wall around the baggage claim area. So, basically, I see him come down the elevator from the terminal and into the baggage claim but we're stuck on opposite sides of the glass for 30 minutes until his suitcase finally arrives. I hadn't seen my boyfriend for 4 months and the airport wanted to keep us apart even longer with that wall! It was obviously a frustrating experience.
Our time spent in Bordeaux together was such an adventure. I loved being able to show off my new city and seeing him experience Europe for the first time. Something happened in Bordeaux though, something I never thought Kevin would do... he wore a scarf. Scarfs may not be considered manly in the USA but they are manly and practical in Europe. And since we all know that fashion in Europe trumps that of the United States...
Moral of the story, do as the Europeans do and always wear scarfs.
