I got up and had breakfast and then headed out to the local farmers’ market. I needed some fruit for breakfast and lunches and dinners. I am stuck on the good strawberries. I always buy them from the same stand as they are relatively inexpensive and good. I have become particular about the clementines that… Read More Back to a more normal day
I had a lazy day. It was overcast and somewhat dreary so I decided to take the day in and read. I read quite a bit being in Toulouse and when I in Alexandria but more so here. I do not watch TV at all when I am in Toulouse. Occasionally, I will watch Netflix… Read More Lazy Day
I decided to break up the routine a little and went for a picnic for lunch. I took some cheese, jamon, a baguette, cherry tomatoes, a small avocado, clementine, cookies and wine and walked over to the Jardin Raymond VI to have lunch. I took a nice, small towel that Phil Le had given me… Read More Always surprised
After a lazy morning, I walked over to Terra Tolosa for lunch. As you know, it is my regular lunch on Thursdays. The walk over was good but the strong wind was back for the day. When it decides to be breezy in Toulouse it is a strong wind. I, also, noticed that the Garonne… Read More Typical Fun Day
I am running the Toulouse Urban Trail run tomorrow and Morgane nicely asked me to go with there to pick up our bibs. I am running the 24k and Morgane is running the 14k. It was fun to walk over with her and use my French. Morgane speaks a little English but is not nearly… Read More An early post today
The weather is fabulous in Toulouse so it makes the days and evenings very pleasant. It makes wandering the city and enjoying the activities around the city fun. This morning I did some of my usual wandering. I am glad I walked through the Place du Capitole as they had set up a flower display… Read More Another good day
I decided to revisit one of the restaurants I had not been to on this trip so far and try a new pastry shop. There is a restaurant Gascon which is a very good deal for lunch. I used to go to it more regularly because of the cost but had not gone there this… Read More Something old, something new
I was still in my recovery period somewhat so took a casual day. In the evening, I read to La Reserve for an Aperol Spritz. It is a fun way to kill some time and to people watch. It is at the corner of two streets near the Port Daurade so there is a lot… Read More Casual but fun Friday
I, generally, do not work to indulge in any of the Seven Deadly Sins but last night I think I committed one – Gluttony. Gluttony is the overindulgence and overconsumption of anything to the point of excess. Pamela, Kimberly and I had dinner at Py-R in Toulouse. It is a 2-Star Michelin rated restaurant in Toulouse. The… Read More Phenomenal Experience
Pamela, Kimberly and I spent a nice day wandering Toulouse and enjoying the pink city! We ended the day with a fantastic meal at Py-R a Michelin Two Star restaurant. It was one of the most amazing dinners I have had. The dinner lasted 4 hours. I will write a separate post chronicling the dinner… Read More Another fun day
