Today for lunch I went to Terra Tolosa. One of the two must eat restaurants in Toulouse for me. As you know, the other is Le Panache. I found Terra Tolosa when I was looking for some place to have Easter lunch two years ago. The menu sounded good and it was one of the… Read More Back to the familiar
I was thinking about my life in Toulouse and tried to decide if I had a routine or was in a rut in some ways. I try to think of myself as spontaneous and open to change and doing new things regularly. Yesterday, I was an out walking around and thinking about lunch. I was… Read More Routine or Rut
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
The day started out with the mundane (but things I like). I walked over to the St. Aubin’s market in the morning to do my fruit and vegetable shopping. It is definitely cheaper to buy fruits and vegetables at the open air markets rather than the stands at Marchè Victor Hugo. If I did my… Read More Touring History and the Mundane
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
I woke up a little tired as I think the travel and all the activities had caught up with me. I have gone from being fairly sedentary (running a couple times a week but driving almost everywhere else) to being a walker again. Since I have been back in Toulouse, I have averaged 15k steps… Read More Fun but relaxed day
The trip to Toulouse was no problem. The flights were basically on time, we arrived in Toulouse 10 minutes lates but that was nothing. The flight from Washington to Paris was early and that gave me time to grab a glass of orange juice in the Air France lounge which I needed as I felt… Read More Trip to Toulouse and First Day Back
At this time a week from today, I will be eating dinner at Le Panache in Toulouse. As those of you who have read the blog know, Le Panache is my home away from home in Toulouse. I look forward to dinner there because of the food but more so because of Ervim and Enzo.… Read More About to start the next episode of this chapter of life
Dima got up this morning and took an air tour of the Blue Hole. That did not interest me so I spent the time reading in the hammock on the front balcony. It was a great morning. This was all after a run where I did my usual and fell. I had not fallen on… Read More More snorkeling
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
