As I have stated previously, I have signed up for the Toulouse Half Marathon. I have gotten into full training, which I need to do since I have not run that far since I ran the Toulouse Urban Trail in the spring. There is a Parc that is about 2 miles from my apartment that… Read More The Parc de Garonne is not going to conquer me
I was having one of those days where my mind was going in every direction. I felt like I could not make up my mind about anything. I do not know what causes those days but they happen on occasion. I knew it was one of those days when I wandered around the Marché Victor… Read More One of those days
I ran into someone else I know today. I had decided to go to another run group. I have signed up for the Toulouse Half Marathon and realize I need to train more to do well in the race. Run in Toulouse and a couple of other run groups have created a somewhat training group… Read More Three days in a row
I know I am unusual but I really enjoy grocery shopping in Toulouse. It is generally so different than grocery shopping in Alexandria. I know I do it the old schools way here in Toulouse so even in Toulouse I am probably not the normal shopper. The idea and reality of shopping almost exclusively at… Read More I know I am unusual
As I was doing the laundry and cleaning, I realized how simple my life is here in Toulouse. It felt good that I have few things that I have to be concerned about in life.

Monday is always life maintenance day – doing the cleaning around the apartment, washing clothes, and going grocery shopping for staples if needed. I do this all on Monday as most things are closed on Monday – restaurants, cafes, small shops and the markets. I have to wash my laundry once a week as I… Read More Life Maintenance Day
Today ended up being one of those days where the options of what to do in Toulouse were disperse and plentiful. I had intended to head to the Brass Days La Garonne in the Jardin des Plantes in the afternoon. I had taken an easy morning of reading and enjoying breakfast and lunch at home.… Read More Lots of options for things to do in Toulouse
We got up this morning and went for a walk instead of running. There are not many joggers/runners in San Pedro. The streets are not really made for running. After run and breakfast, we finally got to snorkeling as the weather had improved. Being low season in Belize, we were the only people on the… Read More Another day in Paradise
I have been revisiting the foods that I love to eat and make since I have been back in Alexandria. I love the food I eat in Toulouse. I have tried many things that I either cannot get in Alexandria or are new to me. I cooked rabbit, guinea fowl and quail while I was… Read More Revisiting foods that I love and do not make/have in Toulouse
