I did my usual walking around the city today. I was really interested in the three dimensional mural celebrating the Côte de Midi. It fascinated me that when looked at standing near them they were flat and showed the picture but when you stood where directed and took a picture, they came alive and became… Read More Not every day is exciting but all are fun
The normal was that I went to Terra Tolosa for lunch. The lunch was great as usual. I am always impressed with the presentation and use of ingredients. I had mackerel tartare with olives for the first course, tuna with roasted vegetables. The vegetables included roasted bok choy and fennel. The chef said they drizzle… Read More Fun Day – normal and new
Generally, Wednesday is the day that I do not have any plans. Sometimes, I use it as my field trip day where I head out of Toulouse to visit other sites in France. Today, since it was the first Wednesday, I decided to stay in Toulouse and just use it as a relaxing day. I… Read More Nice but relaxing day
My post may get a little tedious and boring as I am writing about everyday life and not just the exciting things that go on in life. I went to the Tuesday open air market this morning to get more fruits, vegetables and cheese. These are mainly for my lunches and some dinners. My general… Read More Just another day
The weather changed and there was a touch of fall in the air. The high was in the low to mid 60s. It was a sunny with wonderfully expressive clouds.

The weather is usually quite nice in Toulouse but this morning was one of the rainy and cool days. When I woke up it was pouring and I was not looking to heading out to do the usual activities that I have on Sunday – going to the open air market at St. Aubin’s, doing… Read More It is not always sunny in Toulouse
It was another fun and interesting day in Toulouse. I headed out for my usual walk with the idea that I would pick some things up for the apartment that I needed so that I could cook dinners more easily and be more creative. The last time I was here, I cooked dinners but with… Read More Enjoyment of Toulouse
The day started out as usual. I got up and had breakfast. Then got ready to go out. My main purpose for the day was to buy some food for my lunches. I had already gotten my pastries from Au Poussin Rose, my favorite pastry shop, as they have small pastries. I walked over to… Read More An unexpected day
I have started getting back into my Toulouse routine. I was slightly jet lagged this morning so I got off to a slower start than normal. After having a light breakfast, I headed out for my morning walk and getting familiar with Toulouse again. I walked across the Pont des Catalans over to the St.… Read More Getting back into a routine
Coming back to Toulouse this time felt like returning home. I knew exactly where to go to catch the Navette (the airport bus), I knew my which stop to get off and the route to the apartment where I am staying. Since the apartment is the same as the last visit, I knew how to… Read More Feeling like returning home.
