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
As the French say “comme d’habitude”, as usual it was laundry day. I did my weekly laundry as usual. Having limited clothes makes the routine very easy. I was trying to figure out how to reduce my Alexandria routine to the same. The air drying clothes does take longer than a dryer but it is… Read More Slight variation on Monday
On the whole day was good. It was one of the days that I did not have specific plans which always throws me off somewhat. In the end, I went for a long walk which is my default for not having plans. Since it was another great weather day, I walked along the river with… Read More Somewhat frustrating day caused by me
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
When I was in Toulouse in the autumn, I would do my long runs on the Canal du Midi. It was a great place for long runs as it has a long distance to run, it is flat, there is nice scenery to view and things to see. Once you get out of the main… Read More Another day of exploring based on where I am living now
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 first part of the day was doing the usual of eating breakfast, reading and just enjoying the morning. I guess it was similar to my Black Fridays in Alexandria except for my usual brunch with Kathy Dalby and Danielle Romanetti. In the afternoon, I went Christmas shopping in preparation for returning home and the… Read More Good and Interesting Day
I took a little field trip to Narbonne. It is a town down by the Méditerranée but not right on the sea. It is about 1.5 hours by train from Toulouse. Using the trains in France is super easy. They have plenty of service and it is very comfortable. One of the funny things about… Read More Field trip to Narbonne
I did not know a great deal about the town of Albi before my field trip. I had used Google maps to find a city that was in easy train distance from Toulouse for my second field trip out of Toulouse. I found Albi and googled what might be there to visit. I found that… Read More Field trip to Albi
I felt a little under the weather yesterday so did not roam around Toulouse. I used the day to read and just relax. I am not sure if it is a cold or my allergies reacting to being in a new location. But today it seems all under control and good again. I got up… Read More Back to regular activities
