is it wrong to drink an entire bottle of wine just to see if you really like it?

Commentary on the trip: the ter-snc (rapide train) site is my most-commonly used link this week. Yes, even more than e-mail or LJ. I had been worried about spending two weeks sans car, but it's turned out pretty well using the train, velio (bike) and the ole' foot traffic. Are there places I might have visited if I'd had independent transportation that I didn't get to? Mai oui. Did it make my trip less enjoyable/interesting/informative? Non.

Tomorrow I say farewell to Burgundy with one last day of research, and then back to Paris, and from there, home. Part of me wants to stay but...I'm ready, oui. There is much writing to be done.
