It snowed last night but very briefly and none of it stuck to the ground. It happened while I was at dinner at Le Panache. Enzo came into the bar area with a smile on his face and il neige – its snowing. I went out and took a quick picture – you could not… Read More It did snow
I felt that I was back in Washington today as the weather forecast called for snow but then none materialized. That seems to be the norm for the DC area and maybe it is the same for Toulouse. It did feel winter like most of the day. I cannot complain because it is late November… Read More Disappointed that it did not snow
I did not do much as I was tired and feeling a little under the weather. The weather has turned colder – I cannot say really cold as the highs are in the mid 40s/5s. The big surprise is that there is snow in the forecast. I had asked earlier if there was ever snow… Read More Winter has come?

Most restaurants are not open on Monday but Reflets is so it worked out great for me as I can have dinner at a… Read More Another nice day

I really cannot remember U.S. food prices but I feel that things are definitely cheaper here. I bought… Read More Doing the things I love about Toulouse
I was a little lazy today. I read books which is always good for me. I did do a little laundry which broke my cycle but I did a load of my Merino shirts and pants. I figured I would do them on Saturday as I have to lay them flat to dry and could… Read More Regular Saturday
The wind finally wound down today so it was much easier to go out and walk around. As my time for this visit comes to an end – a little over two weeks before I head back to Alexandria. I am currently doing basically a 90 day here in Toulouse and 90 days in Alexandria.… Read More A fun day
I had read that there was a wind know as Le Vent Fou! This means the crazy wind. The research said that in Toulouse and the surrounding area there can be a wind that comes off the Mediterranean that lasts for days and makes one go crazy. I understand the research now. I am not… Read More The wind
It was Armistice Day in France so is a holiday similar to Veterans Day in the United States. Many things were closed but shops and many restaurants were open. I decided to branch out on my usual Tuesday lunch and found a nice Vietnamese restaurant and had Pho and a Saigon beer. It was good… Read More A regular day
