I went to the Victor Hugo market for some quick shopping. Needed a baguette and some Jambon de Bodega so I could make lunch. After the shopping, I made lunch and decided to have a picnic on the side of the Canal de Brienne. I chose that location as it was windy again and I… Read More Pretty Normal Day
I did my usual routine of going to the Saint Aubin’s farmers market in the morning. It is alway pretty busy with a very eclectic group of people. The combination of hipsters, older people, young families and other always gives it a good atmosphere. It is also fun to see people run into their friends… Read More Sundays are always active but fun
I did some cleaning of the apartment in the morning. Figured it need to keep to a good cleaning routine as all the floors are white tile and any little bit of dirt I bring in on my shoes shows up. It is very different than the wood floors and rugs of my house but… Read More Backed to normal routine
I am going to a concert on Friday night at the Halle aux grain Friday night and needed to figure out how long it takes to walk from the apartment from the apartment to the concert hall. I looked the concert hall on Google maps and it gave the directions but I do not have… Read More Making progress
I am back to the old routines from when I was in Toulouse in the fall. I got up this morning and had breakfast. I tend to get up later in Toulouse as the sun rises a little later. Also, the Airbnb has shutters on the windows and only shears for curtains. I close the… Read More Back to my old routines
It amazes me as many times as I wander the city, I always find something new to see and explore. Today, I did not have any required activities so I decided to explore the neighborhood that I am now staying. It is further from and much close to the river. I wandered down one of… Read More Always finding something new
My Sunday’s in Toulouse are always somewhat hectic. I have two standard activities that I want to do, go to the St. Aubin’s farmers’ market and church. Since both are only available in the earlier part of the day it makes it somewhat hectic. The farmer’s market is open until 12:30 pm and church is… Read More Sunday’s are always interesting
The weather has not been ideal in Toulouse since I have been back. Wednesday when I arrived it was beautifully sunny but very windy. Thursday was overcast and the wind had increased so at time it was hard to walk and the run was challenging. Friday I woke up to rain that lasted about half… Read More Returning to the fun and familiar
Today was spent getting organized for my 2.5 month stay. I cataloged what I needed in the apartment if anything to make the stay here comfortable and more like home. I was pleased to find that there was not much that I had not brought with me that I needed. I headed out to go… Read More Getting things organized and running
The flight from Dulles to Brussels was affected by turbulence – nothing severe but fairly bumpy all the way. It was a good flight overall. I have to say pre-ordering the Asian vegetarian meal is a good option. The food is never dried out and is pretty interesting. You even get a special breakfast with… Read More Arrived in Toulouse
