I caught the TVG from Toulouse to Paris this morning. It was an easy and good trip to Gare Montparnasse. Not sure what caused it but there was a slight delay in the trip so we were a little late arriving in Paris. As travelers in Europe are aware, there is not one station in… Read More Trip to Reims
It started out being cloudy and rainy in the morning but by afternoon, the weather had changed and it turned out to be a beautiful sunny but chilly day. It was the first day I felt the need to wear a coat when I headed out. I took a very long walk in the afternoon.… Read More Another beautiful day in Toulouse
The weather today was very changeable. It was rainy, partly sunny, very windy but actually mild. It had rained most of the night – I can tell as I can hear it on the skylights and roof. I thought it was going to be cold when I went out but it was actually very mild… Read More Better late than never
This is a very short post as it rained the entire day yesterday and I did not really do anything but enjoy a relaxing day of reading. The one thing I did was go out shopping. Since I have adopted the shop for only what you need for each day, I needed to get protein… Read More Rainy Day
I am finally starting to connect with some of the runners in the group (even though it is sort of late as I only have three runs left before I head back to Alexandria). The young man (Laurent) who was the DJ at the run last Tuesday showed up. He came over and started chatting… Read More Another Fun Run with Run in Toulouse
It was another non-exciting regular day for me. This is good as sometimes I think that I have to be out doing something exciting every day because of my limited time in Toulouse. I realize if I want to move here permanently that not every day will be exciting and packed with activities. I had… Read More A regular day

I am getting to know the vendors who sell the products and am becoming a regular. I am still amazed at the costs of things… Read More Usual Sunday
I took a little field trip to Narbonne. It is a town down by the Méditerranée but not right on the sea. It is about 1.5 hours by train from Toulouse. Using the trains in France is super easy. They have plenty of service and it is very comfortable. One of the funny things about… Read More Field trip to Narbonne
I went for my regular walk today and ended up being out and by river during sunset. I was on the Pont Neuf and decided to take a picture of the city. It gets a pink glow because of the red bricks but I could not get an angle that showed it being pink. I… Read More Not sure how I missed this
The city is getting ready for Christmas. The lights and decorations are going up everywhere. I am excited to see them when they are all turned on. Tonight, I saw that they have started to set up the Christmas market in the main square. It opens in a little over a week. When I was… Read More Amusing sights in the Place de Capitole
