I had wanted to have oysters in the market before I left but I got to the market a little too late on a weekday to have the oysters. Luckily, there is a seafood restaurant that does seafood platters right next to the market (Victor Hugo) so I went there instead. I had wanted to… Read More Finalizing experiences and life in Toulouse
The weather has finally turned and it is not raining all day which makes getting out and doing things easier. It is still chilly (cold) but at least it is dry now. I am making headway of Christmas shopping. I have started to buy the gifts that I need for friends in Alexandria. I am… Read More Making the last of my time for this visit
I was a little under the weather this past weekend. I had a cold and so decided to take it easy. It was also cold and wet so thought staying in was the best plan. It did give me time to contemplate what I wanted to do my last week here before I head back… Read More Last Week in Toulouse
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

The Parc is a large open area with running, biking, walking and riding trails. One side of the running routes is along the banks of the Garonne… Read More My constant quest
As it was Sunday, I did my usual Sunday activity. It is one of my favorite days as I get to enjoy Toulouse life. I walked over to the St. Aubin’s market and did my regular shopping. 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
