As usual, I walked around this morning. I headed over the Pont des Catalans to the St. Cyprien district. I was heading over to Pont Saint-Michel and the Jardin des Plantes. This is a nice walk and allows me to see some of the fun things in Toulouse. While walking, I saw an Auchan grocery… Read More Nice Thursday
I tried a new restaurant today. I had asked Enzo and Erwin for restaurant suggestions and they gave me four suggestions. I tried one yesterday. It was Reflets. I had walked by it many times and it seemed like an interesting restaurant but I had not tried it until yesterday. It is small as most… Read More Branching Out
It was another fun and interesting day in Toulouse. I headed out for my usual walk with the idea that I would pick some things up for the apartment that I needed so that I could cook dinners more easily and be more creative.

I decided that I would enjoy the day in Toulouse by doing the things I really enjoy while here. I got up and walked down to the local cafe to have breakfast. I learned one lesson in this as I went at 10:00 am and on Saturday all the chocolate croissants are gone by that… Read More Birthday in Toulouse

Usually on running days (Tuesday and Thursday), I cook dinner after the run. Sometimes it is time consuming and I do not eat until later than I would like. The run starts at 7:00 pm and lasts until around 8:00 – 8:15 pm. I walk the 5 minutes back to my apartment and then take… Read More Changed up my routine a little bit
