I was still in my recovery period somewhat so took a casual day. In the evening, I read to La Reserve for an Aperol Spritz. It is a fun way to kill some time and to people watch. It is at the corner of two streets near the Port Daurade so there is a lot… Read More Casual but fun Friday
After the two busy days with Pamela and Kimberly, I took a recovery day. Also, I think I was still in a food coma when I woke up after the fantastic meal at Py-r. I had a nice day reading and just enjoying some peaceful time. As active as I am, I have found that… Read More Recovery Day
I, generally, do not work to indulge in any of the Seven Deadly Sins but last night I think I committed one – Gluttony. Gluttony is the overindulgence and overconsumption of anything to the point of excess. Pamela, Kimberly and I had dinner at Py-R in Toulouse. It is a 2-Star Michelin rated restaurant in Toulouse. The… Read More Phenomenal Experience
Pamela, Kimberly and I spent a nice day wandering Toulouse and enjoying the pink city! We ended the day with a fantastic meal at Py-R a Michelin Two Star restaurant. It was one of the most amazing dinners I have had. The dinner lasted 4 hours. I will write a separate post chronicling the dinner… Read More Another fun day
The day started with me getting up and running. Not my usual run activity but I was going to miss the Run in Toulouse group as I have people visiting today and was planning to show them around and have dinner with them. I ran along the banks of the Garonne out to the Parc… Read More Fun Day
Easter Monday is a holiday for France so the city was busy but peaceful. There were people out and about but not like a work day. Most shops were closed as were all businesses.

The weather has been variable since I arrived. We have had some nice days but not truly glorious spring days. Today was the first of those and hope for many more. The good news is the long range (10 day) forecast has changed and it looks like we are going to have a string of… Read More The first truly beautiful spring day since I have been here
It is Good Friday so I decided to follow my general practice with some added additions. I usually do a semi-fast for the day – light meals, no meat, no sweets and got to church. I went to the Cathedral Saint Etienne to participate in the Chemin de Croix. The Way of the Cross through… Read More A day of contrasts
The day started out with me searching for the Entremet pastry shop. I had read it was one of the best in Toulouse and I needed to buy a pastry so thought I would find it. Little did I know I had walked by it many times as it is near La Braisière. It is… Read More A Fun day
